Guys,
I am currently filling out the background check form for a new job in banking and its asking for criminal convictions inclusive of any traffic violations. I went to my state's DMV website but it states that I would need to go in person or mail a form and check and this needs to be done in the next 24 hours... I think I got a couple of various tickets in HS / college for minor violations(above speedlimit / rolling through a stop sign / i think campus police may have given me one of those underage drinking tickets at one point?) but I don't remember and I am late twenties so thats all ~10 years ago or so at this point.... anyone been through this / have any guidance? If you were able to obtain this information quickly online where did you get it?
Thanks
If all of that stuff was 10+ years ago I wouldn't worry about it and not mention it
I wouldn't worry too much, but yes, the traffic violations will show up on your background check, if the company conducts a driving records check. If they only conduct a criminal background check,then it will not.
Thanks so much. I actually called HR and explained that my recollection was fuzzy and she advised to put down what I knew to the best of my knowledge and if the background check company contacted her she would let me know
Unless you're Tony Stewart, they probably don't care about traffic violations.
low-key great comment
I figured - Ive been in the industry for ~5 years now though and had never seen the criminal section of the background check be inclusive of traffic violations...
I'm not expecting an answer but what bank or company cares about your traffic record? Unless your a delivery driver it seems over the top.
I don't think its the bank per se but the background check company they outsource to... that's who required the traffic record information - first advantage is the name I think? The BB I was at right out of school used hire right which I think was more common...
I could tell you which bank it was in a PM if you are really interested - I am hesitant in this forum as its not a large team so don't want people connecting the dots.
