Anyone can carry out a background check as they are available to local, state and federal law enforcement agencies and the general public. There are many reasons why people may carry out a background check. They are often used to uncover personal information regarding specific people such as future marriage partners, nannies, professionals (such as doctors or lawyers), tenants, employees, and business partners.

A background check will reveal information relating to the person's public records for every state and country. Also, FBI files and credit reports are often included. Criminal and driving records, court records, birth, marriage, and divorce records all add to a background check report.

Often, those such as policemen, with access to online databases can easily perform background checks upon anyone they desire and uncover any information which may be useful towards them. People in general are more curious about the people they date, the people they hire and the people they allow into their homes, so carrying out a background check becomes a very useful tool in uncovering the background of the person in question.

There is of course always a risk that the information collected in a
background check will be inaccurate. People may have been arrested but were never charged with crimes, and that can still show up on a background check. Mistakes can also be made when people with common names are wrongly linked to people by the same name with criminal records. In theory, criminal records that have been deferred and later dismissed cannot be released to the public.

On the other hand, criminal records are public information, and as an
employer, you are hiring people who are in a position to do you a lot of harm so you should be able to make an informed decision based upon a background check before employing a person.
