# How long are typical turnaround times - country / check type?

## Background check turnaround times (TAT) vary depending on the country where the verification is being conducted and the type of check requested.

Wherever possible, Veremark uses direct API integrations with official data sources to accelerate the verification process. However, some checks may take longer where completion depends on responses from third parties, government authorities, or other official data sources. This can include employment and education verifications, as well as certain database checks such as criminal record checks, depending on the country, availability of digital records, local regulations, and the responsiveness of the relevant authority or organisation.

In most cases, background checks are completed within 15 business days after all required candidate information has been received. In markets with limited digital infrastructure or slower third-party or official responses, some checks may take up to 20 business days or longer.

If you have any questions about the status of a background check or require further assistance, please contact the **Veremark Client Support Team**.
