What if our company already does background investigations (BI)? Am I exempt from your BI’s? How does the BI process work in general?
- If your company does its own BI’s and they meet our requirements your company can provide an attestation letter (please work with your CSM).
- If your company requirements do not meet these guidelines, please have an administrator on your account submit a Badge Request ticket detailing in the special notes that the user needs a Background Investigation. The badge request ticket initiates the BI process.
- Please review our FAQs for the BI process in the ServiceNow knowledge base.
Once the badge request ticket is entered how do I check the status of my request?
- Once the ticket is entered the requestor and the individual needing the BI will be copied on any notes updated in the ticket.
- If you need an update or one has not been recently put in the ticket reach out to your CSM for a status.
How long does my BI last? If my badge stops working does that mean my BI is expired?
- In all locations except VA and WPA, your BI is good for 5 years. VA and WPA are 3 year BIs.
- If your badge stops working please open a ticket for the access to be checked. There could be an issue with the badge if it is before the three-year timeframe is up.
