Most credit and background checks will be returned within minutes. If the applicant does not have enough credit history to generate a report, their credit report will display as unavailable. If the applicant does not provide a social security number (SSN), the background report will display as unavailable. If the applicant is missing information that is necessary to pull a background check, she will be given up to three chances to re-enter her information to verify her identity and receive a background check.
