Backgrounds Online's Knowledge Bank

Need a background check completed as soon as possible? Our turnaround times can keep pace with your company’s applicant stream.

Backgrounds Online averages one to three working days for its background check turnaround times. There are even a few reports that can be done in less than a day or even in a matter of hours. Because the website is accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week, clients can get their results at any time they choose.

If delays occur, affecting the background check turnaround times, they are normally due to extenuating circumstances, most likely due to court delays. Because most criminal searches are done by hand delays can occur, although very seldom, if a court becomes extremely busy. Weather can also play a part in background check turnaround times. Extreme weather, such as blizzards, tornadoes or hurricanes can slow down background checks. However, Backgrounds Online’s staff does everything it can to stay within our average one to three working days and stays in close contact with its clients should any delays occur.
