# Help an authorized adult check out

Category: Kiosk and staffing

Before you start: confirm the correct school and role. Use approved source records; perform live changes only within your assigned authority.

1. On the lobby kiosk, choose `Family check-in` if the mode selector is shown.
2. Choose `Enter PIN` or `Scan QR code`.
3. If using PIN, enter your private 4 digit family PIN.
4. If using PIN, tap `Verify Family PIN`.
5. If using QR, scan the QR credential from the school; scanning verifies automatically.
6. Confirm the correct family appears.
7. Select the child or children leaving.
8. Tap `Check Out`.
9. Wait for the confirmation message.

By tapping check in or check out, the kiosk records PIN or QR credential evidence for the selected children. Staff should verify a separate pickup adult when school policy requires it. The system records credential confirmation separately from any typed or written signature requirement.

## Verify the result

Verify the adult under school policy and wait for completed checkout.

## If something goes wrong

A valid credential does not override a custody or pickup restriction. Wait for pending actions; reopen the record before retrying an uncertain save or send.
