How Do I Get a Copy of My Fingerprint Clearance in PA?

To get a copy of your existing fingerprint clearance in Pennsylvania, you need to contact the state department responsible for these records.

Requesting a Copy of Your PA Fingerprint Clearance

If you have already obtained a fingerprint-based clearance in Pennsylvania and need an additional copy, the process involves contacting the relevant state unit directly.

The primary method to request a copy of an existing document is by contacting the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services. Specifically, you will need to reach out to their Childline unit.

Here are the steps:

1. Call the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services Childline unit.
2. Use the phone number: 877-371-5422.
3. Once connected, listen to the options provided.
4. Select the option that allows you to speak with a representative in the fingerprint clearance division.
5. Inform the representative that you are requesting another copy of your existing fingerprint clearance.

By following these steps, you can request that a copy of your clearance document be mailed to you. This is the direct method provided by the state for obtaining duplicate copies of clearances you have already received.

Please note: This process is specifically for obtaining a copy of a clearance you have already been issued, not for applying for a new clearance for the first time.
