OnForce - Buyer Help Topics

Background Check

Finding service professionals who have passed a background check is appealing to some service buyers or their end customers. OnForce enables all of our pros to voluntarily submit to a background check with ChoicePoint. This is 100% voluntary on the part of a service pro, but many professionals recognize that this offers peace of mind to potential buyers.

If a professional has the Background Check badge in their OnForce profile, it means that ChoicePoint has performed a Social Security Number verification, as well as searches on national, county, and municipal court records, and sexual offender databases.

If any of the following situations are present in a service pro's background check, that pro will be removed from the OnForce marketplace:

Class	Time Period	Details
Felony	7 years	7 years since last action - includes prison time, probation, etc.
Misdemeanor	7 years	7 years since conviction, with the exception of: Single conviction of DUI/DWI without injury Traffic offenses (without injury) Insurance, registration offenses Offenses related to fishing or hunting licenses Bounced check without intent to steal Littering, dumping Et al.
