Common questions
Answers before you visit
Can I order a background check without the person’s permission?
Employment screening generally requires appropriate disclosure and authorization. The requesting employer is responsible for following applicable federal, state and local requirements.
Can a drug test be added to the screening?
Yes. Test First can coordinate pre-employment drug testing with an authorized background-screening request.
How long does a background check take?
Timing varies by package, jurisdictions searched, source availability and whether additional verification is required.
Do you guarantee that every public record will appear?
No background report can guarantee that every record exists, is reportable or is available from every jurisdiction. Scope and limitations depend on the selected product and applicable law.
Can individuals request screening for themselves?
