How long does a background check take?
Most results will be returned online within 1-3 business hours! Only education and employment verifications as well as a few non-Florida criminal searches and non-Florida workers’ comp histories may take longer, 1 – 5 business days. Our business hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST. (Note: Bulk orders also might take longer but will be returned online.
It all depends upon how intensive the report is desired to be. The type of information requested and rather or not the person whose background is being checked is easily found. These are some of the factors you have to consider. It could take anywhere from a few minutes to a few days, months or years. If you are checking for a person’s criminal background, the more personal information you have (Date of birth, aliases, social security number, etc…) will speed the process.
How long a background check takes to complete depends on the background check reports being requested. In general, Abso, a quality background check provider, returns reports in 24-48 hours. Some criminal background check reports for hand-pulled county criminal court records can take longer if a local court process limits access to the records.
