background checks

[Messybrownhair 251]

I need to obtain a child abuse history clearance and do a criminal record check with fingerprinting. Is this something I can already do with just the ead or would I need the GC? I already have my SSN too. Would I use my maiden name (on my passport) or my married name (on ead and other Aos forms)? Thanks in advance for your responses!

If this is state specific (not needing federal check or clearance), I THINK you need the state ID number as well, issued either as state id card or drivers licence .

Most jurisdictions that record this stuff use SSN and state ID #.

You should have some 'intake form' already - what are the instructions for ID intake?

Its for grad school and I was informed thru email. I believe a letter was sent to me today that has the forms so I wont know till tom or sat. I don't have a state id and DL yet, hopefully I can apply for one with the EAD. Thanks for the help, hopefully I can provide more info about the forms soon!

R u serious ??

You need a background check for getting admission in the Grad school? WOW!!!!

From your original post I thought you needed a clearance for job or working with child care facility.

Well if your school is making to do it, they can prob also tell you what agency to get the clearance from and what are the forms you need to fill.

In case of using which name, your married name would be the name on the form and then most form have room for other alias that one has used and you can put your maiden name in there.

Thank you! Yeah the email was for all admitted students so thank goodness its not just for me. I was told that the fbi criminal record and child abuse history clearance could be applied for online and that I would just need the SSN. Phew!! They are also making me get a BLS for healthcare providers certification from the american heart assoc. Not sure if these are school requirements it might be requirements of the American Speech and Hearing Association or ASHA for us to get licensure. Either way all these paperwork is making me nervous, I just feel like it never ends!
