Personal Background Check

If you are applying for a job, get a personal background check and find out instantly what employers will see when they search your background. A self background check can help alert you to identity errors in your records. It can also reassure potential clients before they take you on board.

A background check is needed for many jobs like a teacher, doctor, nurse, accountant, and more. Since there are multiple types of background checks, each organization has a different background check policy, depending on the position you’re applying for.

For example, if you’re applying for a financial position, you’ll be required to get a criminal background check and a credit history check to confirm you’re good with handling money. Other reasons that a background check will be needed may include:

Applying for a loan at a bank
Renting property
Foreign adoption
Applying for a license or permit (medical, real estate, driver’s license, etc.)
Volunteering
Visa/ Immigration purposes
Firearm & weapon permit

What information can you get from a personal background check?

You can gather a lot of information by making some phone calls, running your name on public databases, or more. You don’t need to verify your previous employment or education but you can contact your educational institution for a transcript or get a recommendation letter from your previous employer.

You can also obtain your credit report to learn about anything negative on it like loans, overdue payments, bankruptcies, payment history, etc. You can also easily get a driving record and get information like any accidents, tickets, or license suspensions on your record.

For a criminal background check, this depends on the type of background check you get done, it can be a name-based background check or a fingerprint background check.
