Criminal checks

Starting in June 2024, SentryLink is required to collect additional information in order to perform criminal background checks:

• Either a social security number for the applicant, or an affirmative statement that this person has no valid SSN.

For more details, please keep reading.

Social Security Number of applicant, or affirmation

Almost all of our customers already put in an SSN, which is the best way to ensure accuracy and speed. For those few who do not, it will now be required.

If you have a candidate without an SSN, you may check the box stating that this person does not have an SSN. That statement will be printed on the final report. Making this statement may affect the accuracy of the search, so please do not use this option unless it is true.

Thank you for choosing SentryLink and we appreciate your business.
