Will the investigated person know they are being checked?

Not always. Whether the subject is aware depends on the nature of the investigation, legal requirements, and what is being investigated. However, in many cases background checks are done without the subject’s knowledge until required (e.g. when obtaining their consent).

How long does a background investigation take?

The exact timeframe depends on how thorough the check is: what records need to be reviewed, how many jurisdictions are involved, and how quickly data can be obtained. It could be a few days to several weeks. (You’ll get a more precise estimate during the free, confidential consultation.)

Who uses background investigations?

Many people and organizations use background checks: employers screening new hires, business partners verifying trustworthiness, individuals who want to know more about someone (e.g. dating, personal relationships), or for legal purposes.

What is a background investigation, and what does it typically include?

A background investigation is a thorough check into someone’s past. It may include public records searches (criminal history, court records), employment verification, education verification, references, credit history, identity verification, and sometimes social media or personal history depending on your needs. On The Mark Investigations handles both professional and personal background investigations.
