How long does a background check take?

By Zippia Team - Dec. 7, 2022

A background check normally takes between one and three business days. Background checks can take longer if the system used is more detailed or antiquated. Background checks can also take longer if issues spring up that require verification. Normally, however, most candidates should not have to worry about a background check taking longer than a week.
