The South Carolina Certificate of Proof of Chain of Physical Custody or Control (Subsequent Change of Custody) is a legal document issued by the South Carolina Department of Social Services. This document is used to provide proof of a legal change of physical custody or control of a child from one person or party to another. This certification is required when a parent or guardian is transferring physical custody or control of a child to another party or if a child is placed into the care of a different party pursuant to court order. There are two types of South Carolina Certificate of Proof of Chain of Physical Custody or Control (Subsequent Change of Custody): 1. Original Certificate: This document is issued when a child is initially placed into the care of another party. 2. Subsequent Change of Custody Certificate: This document is issued when the physical custody or control of a child is being transferred from one person or party to another.
