Student Teacher Background Checks

What Name Do I Use on My Background Check (Maiden or Given Name)?

Use the legal name found on a valid government-issued driver's license, identification card, social security card, or passport. If you are married and have already changed your name on your government-issued ID, use that name. If you have not changed your name, use your maiden name.

School IDs will not be considered as proof of legal name.

How Long is My Background Check Good For?

All student teacher background checks are good for three years.
