Pennsylvania requires a federal background check for all employees or volunteers. In many circumstances, you can submit a signed child safety affidavit instead of the FBI Fingerprint History. Use the following table to determine if you need to complete an FBI Fingerprint History or a Child Safety Affidavit.

Child Safety Affidavit

If you are able to complete the Child Safety Affidavit, you may do so by downloading the appropriate PDF, sign it and submit it via GotSport.
