Background Checks in New York

New York background checks are not as straightforward as you think. There’s no master database with all the information you need – especially if you don’t have an unlimited budget. And there are a lot of information discrepancies depending on your city and county.

Below, we’ll break down background checks in New York – what it is, its different types, and how to get it done fast and at an affordable cost.

What is a Background Check?

An investigative background check is a process of investigating a subject’s background information for the purpose of verifying their trustworthiness and reliability for a task or position.

Different Types of New York Background Checks

Depending on what you need to know about the subject, there are a few different types of background checks in New York:

• New York State employment background check – Otherwise known as “Employment Verification.” Verify a subject’s prior work experience, performance, and qualifications.
• Criminal Record check – You may want to hire a criminal record investigator to help you review potential employees under the Fair Chance Act and other New York laws such as NY Corr L § 752.
• Education Verification – Verify a subject’s educational qualifications.
• Drug screening – Screen a subject for illegal drug use. This does not apply to Marijuana usage in New York in most cases.

Here’s the problem – conducting a deep investigative background check on a subject may be expensive, time-consuming, or both, depending on the intel you need. You may have to make calls to police stations, pay a commercial third-party “checker”, or review legalities surrounding hiring.

Consider hiring an expert to get comprehensive and accurate background checks in New York done faster, along with expert advice on what you should do next.

What is a Background Check Investigator?

A Private Investigator can investigate a subject on your behalf. All you need to do is state the information you require and leave it to the investigator to use their own resources to collect the data.

By the end of the investigation, you’ll receive a comprehensive background report on your subject, allowing you to make an informed decision.
