Self Background Check
Ever wonder what an employer, landlord, or licensing board might see on your background report? With Edify Screening’s Self Background Check, you can take control of your records and avoid surprises. This FCRA-compliant option allows you to check your own identity, criminal history, education, employment, and more—just like a prospective employer would.
Whether you’re job hunting, applying for a professional license, or just want peace of mind, our Self-Check Portal makes the process fast, secure, and completely private. You’ll receive the same high-quality, third-party verified information that HR teams rely on—delivered straight to your inbox.

Why It Matters
One in three Americans has a mistake on their background check—but most don’t find out until it’s too late. A personal background screening helps you verify what’s being reported, correct any inaccuracies, and prepare for high-stakes applications. It’s also a helpful tool for expungement review, licensing prep, or just personal peace of mind.
Use-Cases
- Job seekers who want to verify their record before applying.
- Professionals renewing certifications or licenses.
- Individuals planning to dispute past entries or expunge charges.
