Background Checks
NCS makes navigating Alaska background checks easier! Whether you work in oil and gas, mining, tourism, fishing, healthcare, or another industry, background checks are a crucial part of the hiring process.
Accessing Criminal Records
In Alaska, employers (public and private) are legally permitted to review an applicant’s criminal history during pre-employment background screening. NCS reports include convictions and serious pending cases associated with the applicant.
Employers may not:
- Inquire about or use expunged charges
- Access sealed records
- Consider dropped or dismissed charges or arrests not leading to convictions
- Require disclosure of expunged incidents
Employers must inform applicants that disclosing expunged records is not required.
