The information that can legally be included in a background check report can vary depending on the country or state you are in. However, in general, a background check report may include:
1. Criminal history: This could include felony convictions, misdemeanor convictions, and even traffic violations.
2. Employment history: The report can include information about your previous jobs, start and end dates, job titles, and reasons for leaving.
3. Education history: The report can list any degrees or certifications you’ve received, as well as the institutions where you studied.
4. Credit history: The report can contain information about your credit score, payment history, and outstanding debts.
5. Driving record: The report can contain information about your driving history, including any traffic violations or accidents.
6. Social media activity: The report may include information about your social media profiles and any public information available.
It’s important to note that some types of information, such as race, religion, and other protected classes, cannot legally be used in hiring decisions and therefore should not be included in a background check report.
