Q: What kinds of delays might occur in self-background checks, and what causes them?
A: Several factors can cause delays in obtaining results from a self-background check. Some of these include:
- Incomplete or Incorrect Information: If the information you provide is inaccurate or incomplete, it can lead to delays as additional verification might be needed.
- Complex History: Individuals with a more complex history, such as living in multiple states or having common names, might experience delays due to the extensive search required.
- Court Delays: If your check involves records from courts that are slow in responding or have limited electronic access, this can extend the time needed to compile results.
- High Volume of Requests: Sometimes, a high volume of background check requests can lead to processing backlogs, affecting turnaround times.
