Can Checkr expedite the background check process?

Question

We need a background check expedited. Can Checkr fast-track the report?

Answer

Checkr is unable to expedite a background check.

When the background check is taking longer than expected, the likely culprit is a pending county criminal records check. Some courts are inundated with thousands of requests daily and lack electronic records systems. 

Checkr is subjected to the same due process as any other consumer reporting agency or member of the general public. Keep in mind that courts are closed on weekends, holidays, or for inclement weather.

While we have reduced turnaround times significantly with our proprietary software, we may not receive preferential treatment when waiting for public records.
