Volunteer Clearances
Parents who would like to volunteer in the classrooms at HeartPrints must apply for the following Volunteer Clearances. Please submit them in either paper or digital form once received.
1) Federal Criminal History Check
- Please use the website for this clearance, not the fingerprint card by mail.
- Fee required
- Login using service code: 1KG6XN
- Go to Schedule or Manage Appointment and complete the online form to register for an appointment.
- The staff at the location will perform the fingerprint scan and provide you with a receipt containing a Universal Enrollment ID (UEID). Please provide the district with a copy of your receipt/UEID so that our District Office Secretary can retrieve your results online.
2) Pennsylvania Criminal History Check
https://epatch.state.pa.us/Home
- Please use the website for this clearance, not the printed form.
- Free for volunteers
- Go to “New Record” and follow the instructions through to the Certification Page. Once the Search Results Table appears, click on the Control Number (write down the Control Number for future reference). The Record Check Details page is opened. Click on the Certification Page to access your official Clearance. The Record Check Details page is only a receipt and not acceptable as a clearance.
- Print two certification pages—one for you and one to submit to HeartPrints.
3) Pennsylvania Child Abuse Clearance
https://www.compass.state.pa.us/cwis/public/home
- Please use the website for this clearance, not the printed form.
- Free for volunteers
- The Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Clearance application can now be submitted online. You must create an account or log in if you already have an account. Note: you will need an email address to create an account. Creating an account and submitting your clearance application online will give you immediate access to your results or the status of your results if your results cannot be processed immediately. Print two copies - one for you and one to submit to HeartPrints.
Questions about the new policy or about how to obtain clearances may be directed to the Heart Prints Office: Email: HPC@heartprintsed.org
