All aspects of your background check must be complete before results are posted for review. Also, some components such as employment and/or professional license verifications can at times take longer, as they are dependent upon the responsiveness and cooperation of the individuals being contacted for information. A contact that is out of the office, hard to reach, or does not promptly return our phone calls can result in delays. Drug screening can at times take longer, as it is dependent upon the specific site you visited, also.

If you have concerns regarding the time period that has elapsed, please contact us at [email protected] to check your background report’s status.
