How to Order A Background Check

You may order a background check for either an individual or a group. If you would like to receive instructions on how to order a background check for an individual, please continue reading the section called Ordering a Background Check for an Individual below. (Click here to see how to order a background check for a group).

 

Order a Background Check for an Individual

The first step to ordering a background check is to locate the individual. The following steps guide you through locating “John Doe” and selecting the option to order a Background Check.

  1. Click on the Search option on the top menu or under the member's area along the left navigation bar. Type the full first or last name of the person you are searching for. There is also the option to search with a part of the person's name. It takes 3 letters to start the search. Click their name in the results to open their profile.

  1. Notice you are on the View (Profile) tab by default (Ordering a background check can only be accessed from the View tab.) Click the Three Dots next to the individual's name and then select the Order Background Check option.
