Instruction from Online Bar Application:

If you do have entries on this page and were arrested, charged, cited, accused or prosecuted for a summary offense, you are not required to submit criminal history records.

However, if you have entries on this page and were arrested, charged, cited, accused or prosecuted for any offense other than a summary offense or minor traffic violation (i.e., any misdemeanor or felony), you are required to submit criminal history records from every state in which you have lived, worked, attended school, or served in the military for six months or more (cumulative) from the age of 16 until the present.

Additionally, if your responses require you to provide a criminal history record, you must provide one from every state in which you were arrested, charged, cited, accused, or prosecuted, but did not reside in for six months or more cumulative. Please note, criminal history records may be obtained via the internet provided they are official records from the State Police website from that state. Criminal history records obtained from any other internet source will not be accepted.
