Clearances and Child Abuse Reporting
FAQ's
Keep Kids Safe (Clearances & Child Abuse Reporting)
- A PA Child Abuse Clearance can be obtained through the Child Welfare Portal.
- A Pennsylvania State Police Request for Criminal History Check can be obtained here.
- The commonwealth contracts with IDEMIA (also referred to as IdentoGo or MorphoTrust) for digital fingerprinting. You can register with IDEMIA and be fingerprinted at an IdentoGo site. The fingerprint-based background check is a multi-step process. Learn more here.
- Appointments to be fingerprinted are not required, but pre‐registration is required. Once registered, you may walk‐in during a location’s posted hours of operation, but scheduling an appointment may lead to lesser/no wait times. In order to pre-register for a FBI background check and/or find a fingerprinting location, applicants should access https://www.identogo.com/. IDEMIA uses service codes when identifying the authorized purpose for why an applicant is being fingerprinted. This ensures applicants are processed for the correct purpose and agency.
Service codes are a required field for all pre-registrations, and the Department of Human Services’ (DHS) codes are provided below. (Applies to anyone over age 14.)
