Services & packages FAQ
Choosing and ordering the right screen.
- What's the difference between a package and an individual check?
- Packages (Basic, Standard, Premium) bundle the most commonly needed checks and are the fastest way to order. Individual checks let you build a custom screen: order any single check on its own, or combine several for a specific screening need.
- How much does a background check cost?
- Background screening starts at $34. Your final cost depends on the package and checks selected, and the full amount is confirmed before you place an order. Government and third-party disbursement fees may apply on some checks.
- Which package should I choose?
- Basic (identity + criminal) suits high-volume and baseline screening. Standard adds employment, education, reference, and adverse media checks for a broader view of identity and history. Premium is the most comprehensive screen for regulated and high-trust situations.
- Can I get volume or enterprise pricing?
- Yes. For high volume, regulated industries, or a bespoke mix of checks, Quality Screening Reports tailors a program with volume pricing and dedicated support. Contact us to set one up.
