Q: How much does a background check cost?
Answer: How much a background check costs can depend on several factors. For example, the cost may depend on the type of background check and how in-depth the investigation goes.
A licensed private investigator may charge up to several thousands of dollars depending on the nature of the case. At our firm, we offer a reasonable hourly rate for all investigations and provide three different tiers of background checks to accommodate various needs. The cost may also vary based on which U.S. state the subject resides in.
What Factors Affect Background Check Cost?
Several factors influence the final cost of a background check:
- Type of Investigation: We offer both civil background and criminal background investigations. You may request either service on its own, or choose to combine them into a comprehensive background investigation, which can affect the overall price.
- Tier Selection: Clients have the option to select from basic, specific, or comprehensive background search tiers. The type of investigation selected will influence the cost.
- Location of the Subject: The subject’s state of residence may affect pricing, as this can impact how we conduct the background check.
