# What are the turnaround times for United States (US) background checks?

The average turnaround time for United States (US) background checks is generally 3-5 business days.

For US criminal history checks, the turnaround time can vary based on the jurisdiction. Some Counties and States have longer processing times, so there will be instances where results will not be returned within an average of 3-5 business days.

For US employment and education verifications, the average turnaround time is 5 business days. The delivery time varies depending on the responsiveness of the company or school. For education verification turnaround times, these will be longer than average during school holidays/breaks and at the end of each school term.

For international services, turnaround times will vary based on country and service.
