Question

Zippia Team · Accepted Answer

Instacart background check takes up to ten days to process. Background checks are usually processed within ten business days. Due to high volumes and temporary closures, delays are possible. Most employees report that it takes between three to seven days to complete.

Checking your driving history is the longest part of the background check process.

The background checkers will find that information from public driving databases. Instacart may not hire you if you have any of the following violations:

Moving violations
Driving under the influence
Major violations that demonstrate negligence to the safety of your vehicle

Instacart is even less open about what they look for in their criminal background checks than what they look for in driving history. Instacart may not hire you if you have any of the following items:

Recent felony convictions
Any violent crime
Patterns of crime indicating consistent recidivism
Being registered as a sex offender

In this process, the checkers will look at any public criminal records databases to find this information. Specifically, complete an SSN (Social Security Number) Trace, a Locator Select search, and a search of the Enhanced Nationwide Criminal Database.
