wait till all parts of background check except employer check with your current employer are done. Just make sure this is clearly communicated to the background check guys (you usually have to explicitly tick a box or smthg of the like to confirm that they contact your current employer, just leave that blank).
Once all of that is completed, resign, they can confirm the last outstanding bit and done.
Changed jobs about a year ago and I resigned literally the very first instant possible. My background check and drug test (all that check the box stuff) happened after I started at the new firm.
I had a verbal offer for about a week before I resigned. It was a very stressful time, because I wasn't certain if the deal would ultimately work out and I was having backdoor, secret meetings on a daily basis. Hard to keep a lid on it when your admin and everybody else in the office is wondering why you were spotted leaving the building in a suit, and where all the stuff in your cube went (home in boxes). Five of us were leaving so there were lots of moving parts, and the firm threatened to sue my boss when he resigned ahead of me. My paperwork wasn't ready for a week after my bosses left, making me question whether people were being forthright with me (they were).
It was just so hard to continue slaving during that time, trying to keep up appearances. I was originally planning to use the offer to see if my firm would beat the offer. But the new offer was something like 3x my former all-in, with a promotion. So the minute I signed the contract, I scanned and emailed it, sent the hard copy via FedEx overnight, and sent my resignation email to my coworkers. I wore a suit to the office, arriving around 11:30am, sent an email to HR, and I had an exit interview within about 20 minutes, signed my departure forms, took the elevator to the lobby and departed forever.
For the next 30+ days, I got to enjoy what is perhaps the most wonderful thing about working on Wall Street. Garden Leave. In the past, when I've had a lot of free time I've been unemployed or basically poor. Not this time.
If anyone ever decided to write a screenplay about my life, it would be a pretty cool scene.
