Common mistakes to avoid

Submitting the supplement without the required MJPHD.
Using a job title or ownership percentage that conflicts with the enterprise packet.
Missing Pennsylvania tax clearance or assuming a pending request is complete.
Following an old fingerprint service code or location.
Using typed signatures in handwritten execution blocks.
Paying the principal fee for a different category or omitting a conditional fee.

PDF technology note

The supplement has fewer fields than the MJPHD but more Pennsylvania-specific execution dependencies. Automate repeated identity data carefully and reserve final pages for human signature, affidavit, and fingerprint review.

Privacy and security

The combined MJPHD and supplement expose identity, tax, military, legal, and biometric-related records. Keep the working set encrypted and restrict it to the applicant, counsel, and authorized licensing staff.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Pennsylvania Supplement replace the MJPHD?

No. It is designed to be completed in addition to the Multi-Jurisdictional Personal History Disclosure.

How much is the fee?

The reviewed packet lists different fees for non-VGT and VGT categories plus a possible conditional fee. Confirm the current amount and category on PGCB’s site.

Are fingerprints required?

Qualified persons are generally fingerprinted through the current PGCB-designated process. Use the latest IdentoGO instructions rather than an old service code.

What if a supporting document is not in English?

The packet calls for an English translation, and the current instructions should be checked for certification requirements.
