A simple background check is composed of criminal conviction records, motor vehicle reports, and address verification. However, there could be a need for further coverage, depending upon why the background check is needed. One of the most sought after records is the criminal record.
Criminal records can be checked at the city, county, state, and federal levels. Depending on how the criminal background check is complete, the background check should reveal police arrests, warrants, imprisonment history, sex offenses, sentences, misdemeanors, and felonies.
