How long does a background check take? Generally, offline you can receive a complete background check report within 1-3 business day(s) though if it includes a complete criminal records check, it may take 3-7 week days. This is because educational institutions, courts and government agencies usually take enough time to get back with required details.
Turnaround time for the background check's results can range from one or two days to one or two months, depending on a number of factors. Prudent employers screen new hires carefully, often conducting a criminal record check -- either in-house, or through a third party agency -- as part of the hiring process.
