Address check - the easy background ID check

An address check is a simple way of verifying where your candidate is located and that they have a right to work within your business jurisdiction.

Confirming a candidate’s address details is a quick and effective part of confirming their identity - and a key component of personal information.

We will collect two verified bills or bank statements from the candidate and verify against any available records. This check ensures they are who they say they are and can work in your business location.

Our address checks include:

  • A timeline documenting all the places your applicant has lived at in their recent history (6 years worth of address history)
  • Can include addresses of places the applicant has rented as well as where they have stayed with family or on vacation

FAQs

What addresses show up on background check?

Background checks help companies figure out what personal information they should expect to find on your public records. They follow your last years of residences and lists any addresses associated with your name or Social Security number.

What happens if you forget an address on background check?

If you don’t provide your current address, it may mean the county where you lived a few years ago won't be searched when a criminal record query is run. To prevent this from happening, include your current address and double-check that it's entered correctly on all of the searches.

What is considered address history?

Simply put, the address history is a timeline documenting all the places your applicant has lived at in their recent history. This information can include addresses of places they have rented as well as where they have stayed with family or on vacation.

Why does background check ask for address?

One of the primary reasons for requesting an address history verification search is to confirm that the current address on file with the state is still accurate and even determine if there are any other names and/or addresses associated with the applicant which will need to be cross referenced.
