Why conduct personal background checks?
Personal background checks help you be informed about your public records and empowered to make decisions before working with others.
Reviewing your own background check enables you to see what employers and landlords might see so you can anticipate questions and correct inaccuracies.
Other common scenarios allow you to screen someone you know to build trust and ensure safety.
