Checkr is very scary. They show $89 as the most expensive report, but you have to make an account and go through several steps to see a lot of additional pricing options, such as +$40 for Liens and Judgments, +$40 for motor vehicle record, +$12.50 for education verification, and +$12.50 for employment verification. If you want all those, it's a lot closer to $194. After I got that far, it would not let me proceed without uploading an image of my identification. Absolutely not. Other companies give full pricing data with all options without requiring you to make an account, and let you do background checks without requiring you to upload images of your identification. Freaked me out. No thanks.

The report I need is for immigration into Panama. I seems incomplete. There is reference to Warren county in Ohio, but nothing about Butler county in Ohio, or Garfield county in Colorado, or Custer county in Colorado. This make me think that the Panama authorities wont accept this background check.

My addresses and most of the information is wrong

It cost too much for a personal check on oneself

Dealing with Checkr has been a nightmare. They won't talk to you on the phone. Everything must be done by email. They don't explain how the process works and emails requesting clarification make things worse. They were late in providing the service and I got contradictory information about whether they needed more information from the caretaker I asked them to run a check on. The biggest problem, of many, is that I got back a report that had a variety of categories/searches that said "complete." There was no additional information. When I asked if that meant the search was finished and no derogatory information was found, they told me "no." Huh? They said "complete" simply means the process is done. I explained that the "check" is of no value if they don't tell me the results. When I emailed asking to speak with a supervisor, they asked me to explain the problem -- ignoring the email chain that did just that. Would never use them again. Update: Note Checkr's reply to me: "Complete" means the process is done but has nothing to do with the background findings. Yes, I get that now. But when I asked for the findings (was any problematic information found on the caretaker who is living with my parents?) I did not get a clear answer like: "No derogatory information was found" or "Some derogatory information was found and we will send that to you." Without that, the background check is worthless. Also, Checkr said they would send me a private message through Trustpilot to discuss my issue. I've checked, no message from Checkr. 4/15/26: A rep from Checkr did call and essentially acknowledged the Checkr failings that led to my frustrations and review, above. He promised to look into the problems. The long and short of it is that Checkr is not conveniently (or even competently) usable for an individual who wants to run a background check for a caretaker who will work in their home. It may work for large employees, but not individuals.

I possess patience good morals and kindness

I do not recommend Checkr as an employer. They will charge you any additional checks you add, EVEN if these are not completed. It was not a helpful and I recommend you save yourself the headache.

It could be generally useful, but their support is simply horrible. One of my candidate was confused and forgot to fill up the educational background check that i paid for. They simply did not want to give a chance for updating the information and instead asked me to rebuy for the service.
