Background Checks
NCS makes navigating Oklahoma background checks easier! Whether you work in manufacturing, agriculture, forestry, energy, or another industry, background checks are a critical part of the hiring process.
Accessing Criminal Records
In Oklahoma, both private and public employers are allowed to conduct pre-employment background checks, including criminal history reviews. NCS reports convictions and serious pending cases belonging to your applicant.
Employers cannot:
- Consider expunged arrest records.
- Use charges that were dropped, dismissed, or did not lead to a conviction.
- Access sealed records.
- Require disclosure of expunged charges.
Candidates must be informed that they are not obligated to disclose expunged criminal records.
