Child Abuse Clearances

U.S.A. Pennsylvania

Published

Filling out this form now to send off to Harrisburg...am I really expected to know my addresses since 1975? I wasn't even born until '80! I don't know where I lived when I was 2!

Sorry if this is a stupid question (my bf keeps telling me there is no way they could know its incomplete), I just know there is no way I can remember that stuff, I've lived in a lot of places. But I'm worried some how that it will come back to haunt me some way...

and everyone I've ever lived with...does this include college roomates??

According to my clearances I printed out, the Act 34 is the PA Child Abuse History clearance. All from the PSP website.

I just followed the instructions that my school provided me with, and completed the forms they provided. I wouldn't want to take the chance that for some reason what was provided online would not be accepted by my nursing program.

jennheidkamp I wouldn't worry, I think you would receive it sometime next week, but if not, maybe look into doing the online checks, the day before you need them. No need to pay the $10 twice....yet.

I got my PA state police criminal clearance back in about 10 days. Unfortunately last year the Child Abuse clearance took a lot longer, I think maybe 3 weeks. I had a residence out of state in 1975, so I figure it may take a bit longer to check there.

I've still got 4 weeks to go before my clearances expire, so hope to get results by then. I know they won't let us continue clinical without valid clearances.

Really? I had several out of state residences, and it was under 2 weeks to get the results. I guess it just depends on who opens the mail that day, and how long it sits on someone's desk...

Hi,

Did it really only take a little over a week to get back? I need mine by May 1st and am scared to death I wont get it in time. :uhoh3: I sent it last Friday priority mail.

I just got my child abuse clearance back, 16 days after I mailed it. That's a little faster than last year. The PA State Police clearance only took about a week or so. So you've got a good chance of getting it back in time.

I am also afraid I won't get my child clearances on time b4 May 22nd.

I called the police and was told my clearance had already been mailed out. that would have made it about a week of processing.

However, the Child Abuse Registry has no information on my request. Both were mailed the same time so I believe they've already got it.

Are they going to waste my time verifying all my addresses in different countries abroad? They must be kidding me.I am thinking maybe I shouldn't have filled all addresses.
