Dear Prospective AMIAS
The paperwork necessary to complete your certification as an Area 51 ,Al-Anon Member lnvolved in
Alateen Service is included in this AMIAS Application Packet. Complete the registration form and be
sure to have your District Representative sign it if you have one. ln addition, please glve two names for
reference. Be sure to sign all forms.
You will have to get a fingerprint card from your local law enforcement agency. Please stress that the
prints need to he clear to enable the Crime Bureau to read them. lf they have a digital print machine,
the prints are usually much better. NOTE: I would advise calling them before you go as many only do
this on certain days of the week. Also, be sure to complete all the information on the card. NOTE: The
AKiq block should indicate your maiden name{s). Keep your receipt in case the fingerprints need to be
repeated. They won't charge you the second time.
Forward all forms to the Area Alateen Process Person (AAPP). You can find the e-mail link on this web
page under Contact Area Officers and Coordinators. Since you will have to mail the fingerprint cards.
you will need to contact me for my mailing address.

and Behavioral Requirements which can be found on this web page.
