In most cases, background checks take three days to be processed. However there are some contributing factors that may cause some delays.
*As a best practice, please allow 7 business days for your background check to be completed to ensure you meet your program, league, camp or organizational deadlines.
Some potential contributing factors for delayed background checks are mentioned below:
Differing State Regulations
All states do things slightly differently, meaning their background check process will vary too. Some states have more restrictions on how readily available an individual’s data is. This can hold up the retrieval process.
Incomplete Data Records
Incomplete data records, or inaccurate information, can significantly delay the screening process. Sometimes it can come down to one incorrect spelling or an accidentally mislabeled piece of information.
When a background screener contacts an individual to verify specific details, the entire process depends on that individual's timely response. Depending on their efficiency, this can add days or even weeks to the estimated screening timeline.
Third-Party Delays
Delays are not always the sole responsibility of the background checking service. Sometimes, delays can occur because of third-party failings entirely out of the screener’s control. An example of this would be delays at the county level due to clerk assistance.
