Child Abuse Clearance
FBI Fingerprint Check
New Hire Action
Please use the fingerprint instructions link below and the Service Code and Authorization Code provided in this email to ensure you receive the correct clearance (PA Department of Human Services fingerprint clearance) and that it is paid by Geisinger.
Keep your receipt for the prints. View fingerprinting guide here
Submit Clearance
You will receive your clearance by email and/or mail. Please email your Onboarding Coordinator a scanned copy or photo of all clearance pages once received, as Geisinger does not receive a copy automatically.
Please note we cannot accept the U.S. Department of Justice fingerprint clearance for employment.
Technical Issues?
Call 1-855-845-7434 for help with technical issues regarding your fingerprint clearance.
If you don’t receive your clearance in the mail within two weeks of being fingerprinted, please call: 877-371-5422 and remain on the line until you can speak with someone from the Department of Human Services for an update. Do not hang up and call Identogo if prompted. If there is not an Identogo close to you, please ask your Onboarding Coordinator for an alternative option to obtain FBI Fingerprint clearance.
Workday Emails
Let’s keep this process moving! Prior to your start date, you will need to have your employee portal setup, so you can access our payroll system. We use a platform called Workday, which stores information like your direct deposit bank account numbers and healthcare benefits.
