I have a felony DUI conviction from 1998 in Nevada. Will that appear on a background check for employment? ?

    The Fair Credit Reporting Act states that a company can only use a 7 year scope when looking for criminal convictions. Since that happened 10 years ago, they still might be able to find and see the crime on the report, but your potential employer cannot use it against you in hiring. Good luck!

    Most probably. Criminal convictions stay on the record until a pardon is granted.

    Typical background checks are 5- 7 years in the state of residence. The problem is that most employment applications request information on any felony.

    If you wanted to chance it you could leave the information off the application but if you did and got caught you would be disqualified from the position.
