Your criminal history is a permanent record. Unless a record is expunged it will always appear during a public check.

Will a felony show up on a background check after 10 years?

"Yes. A felony is for life." The answer is, it depends where you live. The FCRA now states you can go back indefinately, but state laws still supersede when performing background checks. Example, in California, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, just to name a few, cannot report anything older than 7 years. That's why so many background checks only verify the last 7 years. That doesn't mean they won't, but you can sue and file a complaint if they violate the laws. Some people should just not answer if they don't know what they're talking about. Texas and Colorado are not states that should be in that example. They both have no restrictions and can, and do, go all the way back. Also, even in California, if they do a national search, because someone hasn't lived in California for 7-10 years, it will come up then too. Untrue information on this site, and all question and answer websites, is rampant. Know it all (know nothing) people answer these questions like they know what they're talking about all the time. This guy might have gotten someone to move to Texas, thinking they could find a job easier. Texas is the most strict state in the country! Don't listen to people on these sites. Not even me. Ask a lawyer. The problem is, they probably won't know either, because they don't care because it's useless information to them. There's no reason for them to research it.


Why must there be criminal background checks?

It would be foolish to employ a known embezzler as an accountant, or a known paedophile as a school teacher. Employers therefore need to be able to verify that staff seeking employment are not embezzlers or paedophiles when they come to seek employment and this is why criminal background checks are required. If you have a criminal conviction in your past and it is relevant to the employment you are seeking, you would do better to make this known to your prospective employer at the time of seeking employment. At least this way you can argue that you are now reformed and rehabilitated. Alternatively seek employment in an area where criminal background checks would not be needed.


When an employer does a criminal background check will a warrant come up?

Yes, an outstanding warrant may show up on a criminal background check conducted by an employer. Warrants are legal documents issued by a court that indicate a person may be wanted for arrest. Employers often conduct background checks to ensure the safety and security of their workplace and employees.


Will jail time come up on a background check?

Is someone able to get a job with an arrest warrant?

Yes you can... Warrants do not show up on background checks-only things you have been convicted for. I had an arrest warrant for 6 months that I didn't know about and still got a job within that time. Now if they figure out where you work, they will come n snatch you up there-be careful!!


Can you be turned down for a job if you have a felony after they have already offered you the position?

Often they do the reference checks after offering you the job. The offer is contingent on your referrals being satisfactory. If you were upfront about the felony on your application, then you should expect that the job will come through. It goes without saying that having a felony record makes life difficult ever after.

If your record was expunged in ca can you be bonded?

Realistic answer? You are taking your chances! Remember the record does not disappear, it is simply sealed to the general public and to routine background checks. Because of the type of background checks that bonding companies (which are actually private insurance companies) employ for positions of trust, your expunction quite possibly may come to light.

No, you cannot. Because a conviction is sealed, does not mean it won't come up on a criminal background check - it's only made inaccessible to the general public.
