Volunteer Organization FAQs
Organizations must comply with the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) guidelines to avoid discrimination claims. State and local "ban-the-box" laws also apply in many jurisdictions.
Yes, the FCRA requires organizations to obtain an applicant's written permission and provide them with a clear, stand-alone disclosure that a background check will be conducted.
Most basic checks are completed within 24-48 hours. However, turnaround time varies depending on the types of checks ordered (e.g., county criminal searches, education verification) and the responsiveness of external sources like courthouses and educational institutions.
A comprehensive check can include identity verification (SSN trace), criminal history (county, state, federal), employment and education verification, driving records (MVR), credit history, and drug screening results.
Yes, CoreScreening offers customizable screening packages based on specific roles, industry regulations (e.g., youth protection, finance), or risk levels.
The general standard for most industries is seven years for misdemeanor convictions and 10 years for felony convictions, though the timeframe can vary based on state laws and industry regulations.
CoreScreening receives information directly through integrations with county, state and federal courthouses. In instances where the national criminal database is used, possible records are confirmed at the source prior to the completion of results.
Applicant FAQs
Delays often occur if a courthouse requires a manual, clerk-assisted search or if an employer/educational institution is slow to respond to verification requests.

No, a volunteer credit check results in a "soft inquiry" and does not negatively affect your credit score.
Not necessarily. Organizations use the information to make volunteer-related decisions, often performing an individualized assessment considering the nature of the offense, when it occurred, and its relevance to the position applied for.
Sometimes, information in databases or public records are incomplete or outdated, so CoreScreening may require documentation, such as a government issued ID, to quickly and accurately verify the information.
