Background Screens Status:
By default, when a background screen is submitted it goes into a "Pending" status.
The background screening process is typically completed in 3 to 5 business days from the date of submission. Be aware that the turnaround time can vary for a variety of reasons including: the applicant needs to verify their personal data with the NCSI team; or courthouses are experiencing delays either due to heavy volume or other circumstances.
If your screening is delayed, please check your inbox for emails from automation@instascreen.net , as NCSI may have reached out to you to verify your personal data.
After five business days, please contact NCSI directly at support@ncsisafe.com for a status update. Depending on the status, the NCSI support team may be able to expedite the process to complete and deliver the report.
If the background screening status says "Pending Verification", further validation of the applicant's personal information is required. The applicant should reach out to NCSI Customer Support at support@ncsisafe.com.
