How Long Does It Take To Receive Child Abuse Clearnce and Criminal Record?

I am trying to figure out when I need to take the exam and apply for school and fitting in my job...it's overwhelming.

Any way, I live in PA, how long would it take to get my child abuse clearance in mail? Also, for crminal record, I saw on the police website that for a credit card purchase I can receive a no crminal record clearance online and just print, do you think that'd be okay?

thank you

Your school doesn't do a background check on your behalf, they actually make you do the leg work and provide copies of all of these things individually? That's unbelievable! :uhoh3:

Actually, that's the least problem I have with the school. The biggest thing I have is the fact that I'm only allowed to take the NET there three times, after that I'm not allowed to take it again! I have to get a minimum of 60 on math and 70, that's right, 70 on reading comprehension. I got a 95 on math and a 63 on reading so I gotta do this lovely thing all over again.

wish me luck!

Mine both came pretty quickly, I think within a few weeks.

Remember, it also depends on when you fill out the paperwork for it - the quicker you do it, the better. If you wait more toward the deadline for it, it takes longer b/c everyone is trying to get their paperwork in and the state has more to do.

Asherah: This is common for a PA school to have you do your own checks.

(and yes, I did go to school in PA)

We have to do our own background check as well. I got fingerprinted at my local sherif's office and then sent the fingerprint card into the FBI with $18. They sent back my fingerprint card with a stamp on the back that says no arrest record.....it took about 3 weeks.

Peace,

My state/FBI background check came back in seven days! It was so fast.

Yes you should get it fairly quickly.

CAC is 21 days for PA residents

and for PA background check it instant when you complete the form online and pay the 10 bucks
