Report ETA

Report ETAs predict when screenings will complete for each background check report. This ETA provides a date for the estimated completion of a specific report, helping both you and your candidates plan ahead.

While the predictions are highly accurate, they are not a guarantee. Some county-level searches are subject to unpredictable timelines, due to manual search processes and court availability. For more information on these searches, please see County Criminal Record Search in the Checkr Help Center.

90% of reports will complete within one business day of the estimated date.

For those reports which do not complete within the initial estimate, Checkr will re-generate the ETA using the current information available for the remaining screenings. A report.updated webhook will be issued for both the initial and each subsequent ETA.

For more information, see Checkr ETA in the Checkr Help Center.
