Hear from organizations that trust AIS for accurate, compliant background screening and verification services.

As Director of Corporate Security for a major national conglomerate, I was tasked to produce prompt, legal and trusted investigative results that could be completed on a confidential basis at a reasonable cost. Corporate Security, and I, would be judged by the results. My reputation was at stake. AIS was selected and relied upon for background searches in connection with new executive hires at the Corporate level; for due diligence investigations required by sensitive acquisitions and financial transactions, and for the location of people and assets. The overall success of our mission depended upon AIS performing up to expectations. The results were impressive.

FAQs

How long does an online background check take?

An online background check typically takes about 1–5 business days, depending on the types of searches included. Basic database and identity checks can return results in 24–48 hours, while more detailed employment or international screenings can take longer. At AIS, every background check is handled by experienced investigators who review and verify results for accuracy before delivery.

Do you provide global background checks?

Yes. AIS provides nationwide and worldwide background checks through its background screening services, including international criminal searches and employment verifications across 165+ countries.

How long do AIS background check services take?

The duration of AIS background check services varies with the complexity and scope of the screening requested. Standard checks are often completed in a few business days, while multi-region or detailed investigations may take longer. As a trusted background checks company known for thorough, compliant screening, AIS is considered among the best services for background checks for organizations that prioritize accuracy and legal compliance.

What shows up on a background check?

A background check typically verifies identity, confirms personal history, and searches for risk-related records. A professional background check company will tailor screening based on the role and employer requirements. Most background screening services include identity verification, address history, and criminal record searches at the county, state, and federal levels. Many also include employment and education verification. Depending on the position, screening may include driving records, credit history, civil records, or sex offender registry checks. Background checks do not include medical records, private bank balances, political or religious beliefs, and generally do not show sealed or expunged cases. For employment, many records are reported within a 7-year lookback period, though state laws may vary.

What is PBSA accreditation and why does it matter?

PBSA accreditation confirms that a background verification company meets strict industry standards for legal compliance, data security, and research accuracy. PBSA is the leading trade association for background screening providers, and accredited firms are evaluated on FCRA compliance, quality control procedures, verification methods, and consumer protection practices. For employers, using an accredited provider reduces compliance risk and demonstrates due diligence when selecting background check services. For candidates, it means stronger data protection, fair dispute processes, and higher accuracy standards.

Can AIS screen international candidates?

Yes. AIS can conduct global background checks for candidates who have lived or worked outside the United States. International screening may include criminal record searches, employment verification, education verification, and sanctions or watchlist checks, depending on the country. Some jurisdictions require the candidate to request government-issued certificates directly. International searches typically take 3–10 business days in faster regions and 2–4+ weeks in countries requiring official documentation. All screening complies with U.S. FCRA regulations (for U.S. employment) and applicable local privacy laws.
