Education Background Screening FAQ
What checks do schools and childcare providers usually run?
Most include criminal searches and a Sex Offender registry search. Many add County searches, employment verification and education or credential verification. State law may also require specific checks, such as fingerprint-based checks through a state agency, so confirm your state's requirements.
Do you verify degrees and teaching credentials?
Yes. Education verification confirms degrees, diplomas and attendance with the school. See Education Verification.
How long does education screening take?
Instant searches (SSN Trace, Sex Offender, Global Security Watch List, National Criminal Database, state database and MVR) usually return in minutes. Standard Packages 1-3 average 1 day, Package 4 averages 1-2 days, and Packages 5 and 6 average 2-5 days. County searches and verifications depend on courts, employers and schools, so individual results can vary.
Can we screen volunteers as well as staff?
Yes. See Volunteer Background Checks. There are no setup fees and no minimums.
