The DoorDash background check typically takes about 5 to 10 business days to complete, with many applicants receiving results within a week
. Some people have reported getting their results as quickly as 1 to 2 days, while others have experienced delays of up to two weeks or more due to factors like application volume, court record retrieval times, or needing additional information
. The background check is conducted by a third-party company, usually Checkr, and involves reviewing your criminal record and driving history (if you plan to deliver by vehicle)
. The process can be faster if you deliver by bicycle or scooter since driving records are not checked in those cases
. You can monitor the status of your background check through the Checkr Candidate Portal, where statuses like Pending, Complete, Requires Action, or Clear indicate the progress
. If there are issues or discrepancies, additional time may be needed to resolve them
. In summary:
- Typical duration: 5-10 business days
- Possible range: 1 day to 2+ weeks depending on circumstances
- Factors affecting timing: volume of applications, completeness of information, multiple residences, court delays
- Status can be tracked online via Checkr portal
- Bicycle delivery may speed up the process since driving records are not checked
This timeframe reflects the need for thoroughness to ensure safety and trust within the DoorDash community
