# Background Check Access Fee Guide

When the source of a background screening report is a state criminal record repository, county courthouse, department of motor vehicles (DMV), etc., a background check company is often charged a supplemental fee to gain access to this information. These access fees may vary depending on the origination of the data and the depth of the screening.
