What is the typical processing time for criminal record checks?
Reports are frequently finalized within an hour of an applicant completing their information. However, in rare cases, processing may take up to 48 hours. Our policing partners prioritize emergencies, but they also have dedicated teams handling background checks.
Fastkey also prioritizes the security of your information by avoiding physical mail delivery, reducing the risk of tampering. You will receive a prompt notification as soon as a candidate's criminal record check is available in your Fastkey account.
