Questions

Volunteering at NAPL requires a PA State Criminal Check and a PA Child Abuse History Clearance which are FREE for volunteers. If you have lived in PA under 10 years you are also required to obtain a FBI Criminal History Record Check. Please ask a staff member for more information about the FBI Criminal History Record Check.

Act 34 State Criminal Check: When you access this site, click "New Record Check (Volunteers Only)." This is the way to get your clearance without delay. When the screen allows you to access and open your actual record/certificate, please print this out and submit it as your clearance. You will not receive any further documentation from the state. This is your clearance. https://epatch.pa.gov/home

Act 151 Child Abuse History Clearance: If you have difficulty accessing this site, try using a different web browser. Chrome has given some users difficulty, however, Microsoft Edge and Firefox seem to work without trouble. You will have to create an account with a PPID in order to obtain this clearance. PPIDs can only be made once and are associated with only you for the life. If you cannot remember your PPID, it is very difficult to retrieve. Either write it down and keep it somewhere safe or take a photo of it on your phone. https://www.compass.dhs.pa.gov/cwis/public/home
