The DoorDash background check typically takes about 5 to 10 business days to complete, with many applicants receiving results within a week

. Some people have reported getting their results as quickly as 1 to 2 days, while others have experienced delays of up to two weeks or more due to factors like application volume, court record retrieval times, or needing additional information

. The background check is conducted by a third-party company, usually Checkr, and involves reviewing your criminal record and driving history (if you plan to deliver by vehicle)

. The process can be faster if you deliver by bicycle or scooter since driving records are not checked in those cases

. You can monitor the status of your background check through the Checkr Candidate Portal, where statuses like Pending, Complete, Requires Action, or Clear indicate the progress

. If there are issues or discrepancies, additional time may be needed to resolve them

. In summary:

• Typical duration: 5-10 business days
• Possible range: 1 day to 2+ weeks depending on circumstances
• Factors affecting timing: volume of applications, completeness of information, multiple residences, court delays
• Status can be tracked online via Checkr portal
• Bicycle delivery may speed up the process since driving records are not checked

This timeframe reflects the need for thoroughness to ensure safety and trust within the DoorDash community
