You may sue Checkr for reporting criminal records that aren’t yours, failing to update dismissed or expunged charges, or providing inaccurate driver’s license status or SSN trace errors.

You can dispute your background check through the Checkr Candidate Portal, but results are often automated and unreliable. Legal action is more effective for resolving serious errors.

“Consider” means Checkr flagged potentially disqualifying information. DoorDash or Spark will review the report and decide whether to proceed, but no final decision has been made yet.

Disqualifications may include recent felonies, DUIs, sex offender status, multiple traffic violations, or a mismatched identity showing someone else’s criminal record on your file.

Typically, 3–7 business days. Delays may happen due to identity mismatches, court verification lag, or issues with uploaded documentation.
