How long does a background check take?
An average employment background check will typically take between 1-3 business days to complete, dependent on scope of the screening package.
Turnaround times vary depending on the searches requested, the jurisdictions involved, and the availability of information from courts, employers, schools, licensing agencies, and other sources.
Some information may be available quickly, while other searches or verifications may require additional time. Delays do not necessarily mean that an issue has been identified.
