Caregiverlist Background Check FAQs

How will I receive my purchased BACKGROUND CHECK? Via the verified e-mail address you provided upon purchase of your Background Check.

Should I show my Background Check to a prospective Employer? Offering a recent Background Check for review by an employer indicates that you understand the necessity of background checks for caregiving and are willing to comply with this requirement. It also demonstrates you have successfully passed a Background Check and will be “employable”, provided other needs are met.

Are arrest records always included? No, some states and counties do not report arrest records , only actual convictions.

Why does the turnaround time for the Background Check take longer than a few days sometimes?This is because some counties across the U.S.A. do not have automated reporting systems, either by choice or because they have not made the investment in technology. The Administrate Office of the Courts (AOC) includes county data and the Department of Corrections provides inmate records. In addition, the Sex Offender records come from each state’s Sex Offender registry.

What information is provided in the Criminal Super Search? Felony and Misdemeanor records for 3 counties, including sex offender records, inmate records and arrest information. The results provided include only the instant data that is available. Counties that do not submit instant data will come back with a “recommendation” to do a Single County Search.

When should I do an Unlimited Single County Search? If the Criminal Super Search Background Check comes back with a recommendation to do a Single Count Search, this means that the Super Search included counties which do not have instant data updates. The Single County Search will produce actual results from each county by pulling all the data which is not instantly updated, although this will mean an offline update (via telephone or in-person) to obtain the information and have it entered into the Background Check database for inclusion in your Background Check. This is why it can take from 5 to 14 business days to secure the information (people, not just computers, are obtaining and updating the information).
