Background Checks
Background Checks are used for everything from employment to rental housing (Senior Citizens; Assisted Living; Section 8 Housing). A Background Check typically includes Social Security Number, Citizenship Status, criminal, commercial, and financial records and range from minimal sensitivity (such as employment for a minimum wage job) to high (such as a job related to the FBI or National Security). It may include property and driving records, drug testing, evaluations for Medical, Mental, and Physiological examinations, polygraphs and arrests/ imprisonment. Typically, a person cannot refuse a Background Check unless you wish to forfeit what you desire, e.g. that housing, that employment. Reasons for BCs include to verify personal information, personal honesty and integrity, exclude drug users, and general risk management.

Additional: Check the law in your state re: having your record expunged. It will apply only to state charges - and will not apply to any federal charges. There is no such thing as a 'blanket' expungement of your entire record. Usually you will (if qualified) only be able to have one expungement per lifetime. Depending on the state you live in, the victim of your offense and/or the prosecutor may have the option of objecting to your request. YOU will have to check your own state's laws for more particulars. I strongly suggest that you consult with an attorney, this is NOT a do-it-yourself project. Further: If your expungement is successful it will only seal your records to the general public. The courts, law enforcement and government agencies will still be able to access it for their use.

Uncertain what you are asking.

That is conducted by a law enforcement agency, and verifies that you do not have a criminal history that blocks you from owning firearms, that you have not been adjudged mentally incompetent, etc. In addition, some states may require that you have a Firearm Owner's ID Card. Some states mandate a waiting period before you can pick up the gun from the dealer.

What is a real international background check investigation?
International background checks are professional investigations conducted by a background check or private investigation company with field offices or field investigators in the foreign country or countries involved in your case. The purpose is to minimize risk in foreign hiring, international business and relationships.
Real international background check investigations can involve criminal and court records, asset searches, education and employment, passport and visa verification, travel records, civil and public records, marriage history, neighbor testimony, businesses, etc. Searching criminal records is not a background check, but only a part of the investigation. Many companies claim to offer background checks but only search generic databases. In fact, searching databases is not an option in many developing countries. An investigator on the ground accessing local records, speaking the same language, and conducting real investigation is the only way. Any website claiming otherwise is a scam. Fortunately, there are some options available. Companies such as Kroll and Wymoo® International have well established reputations and do offer the service. If there is only one foreign country involved, consumers also have the option of contacting a private investigator in that country directly, although this can be a higher risk option due to language and cultural barriers.
Always verify the company has field investigators, offices or agents in the country where you need the investigation. Making phone calls or searching the internet from abroad is not an investigation, and is not worth a dime. A real background check is a professional investigation; skilled investigators are required.
