What is a criminal/fingerprint background check?

Can background check agencies reuse old background checks?

  • If a background check agency conducted a background check on me in the past, can they reuse this background check report for all further background check requests on me in the future?

  • Answer:

    They SHOULD run a new BACKGROUND Check. These agencies generally don't keep track of the old reports they run -- takes up to much computer time and disk space. to THEM, you're just another blank face in the thousands they run every week. But what could change? If you had an arrest in 1999, it is unlikely that it will "fall off" your record. So, the same old information is available EVERY TIME. But there ARE cases when a judgment can get overturned or "expunged", ESPECIALLY if you were a juvenile at the time. So they SHOULD do a new search, CREDIT CHECKS are run new, each time. but it is up to YOU to check them and make sure they have the correct information. fact is, there are MANY statements on your CREDIT report that could be just plain WRONG! I had to work to clear mine once, because they had me confused with another guy with the same name, even though he had a different Social Security Number!

Every time a future or current employer runs a background check on you a new report is run. Even if the background screening company used has already done a background check on you. The reason is because they need the latest information on you. You could have a new criminal record or a mark on your drivers license or a number of new things. The background check may also include a drug screening which will need up to date tests. It is also not uncommon for a current employer to run yearly background checks on their employees to make sure everything is still fine.
