Shipt Background Check: What It Checks, How Long It Takes & What to Do If You Fail
If you're applying to deliver for Shipt, you have to clear a background check first. Shipt works with a third-party screening company, currently Checkr, to conduct a motor vehicle record check, a criminal history check, searches of key registries, and reviews of multiple federal databases.
The duration can vary, since the process depends on factors such as court processing times or whether additional manual review is required.
If inaccurate information in the report leads to a denial or deactivation, you may have rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) to review the report and dispute the error.
