How long does it take for a driving background check to process?

I need to make some extra cash, so I’m thinking about working as a rideshare driver. All the companies I’m looking at require background checks. How long does a background check for driving usually take?

Best of luck on your job hunt! Working for a rideshare company is a great way to make some extra cash while being in charge of your schedule. A background check for driving—also known as a Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) search—usually only takes one to three business days.
The process could be slowed down if you’ve lived in multiple states with different driving records, but as long as your
record is pretty clean
, you should be making money driving in no time.
