Employers need a signed authorization before they can request a consumer report or investigative consumer report. Our fillable Background Check Authorization Form lets you collect that consent quickly, securely, and in full compliance with federal and state law.
The form is a written consent that permits a company to obtain your background information—such as criminal history, employment verification, and credit data—once you are hired or during the hiring process.

When you sign this authorization, you retain the right to receive a copy of any report obtained, dispute inaccurate information, and be notified if the report influences an employment decision. The form includes a concise summary of these rights.
