Information on PA Act 153

Pennsylvania Act 153 requires all paid employees and unpaid volunteers "responsible for the welfare of a child or having direct contact with children" to complete comprehensive criminal and child abuse background clearances. The Child Protective Services Law (CPSL) defines “direct contact with children” as “the care, supervision, guidance or control of children or routine interaction with children.” Unless you have already gone through the requirements of PA Act 153, any current background check that you may have from various certifications or third-party companies is not accepted by the state of Pennsylvania. Some of these clearances are free for volunteers.

 

Steps:

 

This first link is to the PA Department of Public Welfare. They will complete the PA Child Abuse History check, and then you will receive a certification. You will also create an individual login, can check you status, and print your certification. Please choose the correct certification purpose.

It can take up to 6 months for results. If you are charged for the background check, please print a copy of your receipt.

If you don’t live in the state, or have lived here less than 10 years you will need to go through this step. When you get to the page, use the code “111VVQ”. From there, fill in your information. Once completed, please print out your receipt as you will need to take it to get your finger printing completed.
