1. Why Do a Background Check?
Doing a background check is an opportunity for you to verify information. Whether you receive the
information from a job candidate, a prospective tenant, someone applying for credit or anyone you
feel you need to know more about. A background check can also reveal information that was
either mistakenly or intentionally omitted.
Using background checks can help you verify degrees or certifications that were earned and
provide specific information about employment history.
If you are an employer or landlord, background checks will help you to reduce your risk of lawsuits
and help you to protect your assets.
2. What Types of Background Checks Are Available?
Here is a quick bullet list of some of the types of background checks available:
oAddress history
oSocial security number trace
oFederal criminal records
oStatewide criminal records
oCounty criminal records
oInstant criminal history
oSexual offender registry
oFederal civil records
oCounty civil records
oDepartment of motor vehicles driver's history
oLicense and certificate confirmations

2. oEducation confirmation
oPrior employment confirmation
oWorkers compensation records
oDrug testing
oReference checks
oand many more...
3. How Much Do Background Checks Cost?
Background check costs can vary depending on the number of searches included in the screening
requests. Simple checks can cost as little as $20.
By combining several searches into a single background check package, many companies can
offer a better price per screening. Some background check companies can offer volume discounts
to companies or individuals that order their services frequently.
Also, there is software that can be purchased to do your own background checks on the Internet.
4. How Long Does It Take to Complete a Background Check?
Most employee background checks can be completed in 48 to 72 hours. Most companies can
complete address searches and credit reports, instantly.
Statewide and County criminal searches can be completed within 48 hours. Education and
employment confirmations are usually done in 48 to 72 hours.
5. How Do I Receive the Background Check Information?
With most companies that do background checks, you can select the option that suits you best.
The company can e-mail results directly to you. Results can also be faxed, viewed online or sent
by regular mail.
6. What If There Is a Mistake on the Credit History Portion of a Background Check?
The applicant has specific rights outlined in the summary of rights, which must be provided to the
subject of the background check. This is specified in the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The
applicant or the employer or whoever is making the request for the background check, should
make an inquiry, and it will be investigated.
7. Should a Nationwide Criminal Background Check Be Requested?
An accurate nationwide criminal history check would be possible, but extremely expensive. It is

3. misleading to advertise a "Nationwide Criminal Search" because it does not include all states and
is done by searching databases, not the court system. Many of the courts do not participate in
submitting their records to these databases. The records of these databases are frequently
outdated. 3000 courts throughout the country would have to be searched, since there is no central
repository available for criminal records to the private sector.
8. Can I Do a Background Check on a Minor?
Juvenile records are not available, but if the subject of the background check was tried as an
adult, you may be able to find the records available in the courts.
9. Do I Need a "Release" Form from the Subject of the Background Check?
A signed release form should be obtained from any subject of a background check. Be sure to
keep a copy of a signed release form for your own files. Also, be sure the subject of the
background check receives a "Summary of Rights" (as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act)
with their copy of the signed release form.
10. When Is a Driver's History Background Check Required?
If anyone is driving on behalf of your company or organization - even once - they're driving history
should be checked on a regular basis.
