The length of time theft by check will appear on a background check can vary depending on the specific policies of the reporting agency and the laws in the relevant jurisdiction. In general, criminal convictions can show up on background checks indefinitely unless they are expunged or sealed by a court order.

Will a misdemeanor show up on a background check?
