To keep the public safe, your agency performs background checks on potential licensees. These background checks, however, take up staff time, especially if you lack an automated background check process. Manual data entry is slow and prone to error.
Public safety also is compromised by the inability to interface with a third-party background check system. The delays and inaccuracy that result could allow an unqualified applicant to procure a license, potentially exposing your agency to liability. Imagine the consequences if a background-check lapse allowed an unqualified person to obtain medical licensure or, worse, a weapon.
Automating the process makes delays and common errors far less likely.
Automated background checks address many common problems:
- Staff manually perform background checks.
- Staff must follow up with third parties.
- Background checks take excessive staff time.

- Connecticut State Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection The Connecticut agency uses background checks to ensure that felons, the mentally ill and others not legally allowed to buy or own firearms do not do so. Inadequate or inaccurate background checks could result in shootings and other avoidable loss of life and expose the responsible agency to large lawsuits or even criminal liability.
- Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services Background checks enable the agency to confirm that licensed nurses do not have events in their background that should prevent them from working with patients. A background check is completed and confirmed every time a new nurse applies to be licensed and every time a nurse takes a new job. Faulty background checks might allow potentially dangerous people to work with vulnerable patients, which could lead to abuse or other harm.
- Arizona Supreme Court The Arizona Supreme Court requires a full background check for lawyers applying to the bar. Inadequate background checks could cause felons or other ineligible candidates to be allowed to take the bar exam and become licensed attorneys.
