While HomeAdvisor will continue its background check program to the extent possible, these closures could prevent some background checks from being performed. How is COVID-19 impacting the HomeAdvisor background check program?ĭue to the coronavirus pandemic, several government agencies and courts across the country have temporarily closed their offices.

After initial admission to the HomeAdvisor network, businesses are re-screened biennially. Please be aware that the reporting in the NCD is particularly limited in the following states: AL, CO, DE, GA, ID, IL, KS, LA, ME, MA, MI, MS, MT, NE, NV, NH, NM, SD, UT, VA, VT, and WY. *The comprehensiveness of the NCD varies by state. Our background check does not exclude service professionals unless the crime at issue is a felony.

Contracting without a license in the past seven years.

Other felonies not listed above that occurred in the past seven years.

Manslaughter/murder/homicide/vehicular homicide.

Businesses will not be admitted to the network if their owners or principals have the following felonies in their available criminal records*: Our third-party vendor uses a national criminal database ('NCD') to screen service professionals. We use a third-party vendor to conduct a criminal records search in the state in which the business owner or principal works. As always, we recommend that you conduct your own research on the businesses you hire, including making inquiries directly with the businesses regarding their employee background check policies. Unfortunately, we cannot perform a background check on every employee of a business-the background checks are performed only on the owner or principal.

The owner or principal of each business in HomeAdvisor's network (with the exception of Corporate Accounts) must pass a background check.
