certiphi

Hello! I completed my Certiphi Background check info and submitted it, trying to complete the Canadian-specific form right now. For section D - Identification Verification, it states that "you must meet face to face with a representative of the organization which requested your background...

I had to fill out a Certiphi background screening after acceptance and it came back as expected except it said I had an "alias" (it's my name but spelled incorrectly). There's no criminal history listed for it, so I'm guessing this isn't an issue, just wanted to see if anyone had experienced...

Hello everyone, I listed my permanent residence as my home country since technically that's where my parents live and own a house. However, I have been studying in Canada (on a student visa) since I was 13. I gave Certiphi the date I left my home country which was in 2008. My Certiphi check...

Will I receive a separate email for each school that accepted/waitlisted me? Or does the one email I got last week grant permission to the other schools? I am asking because I didnt receivemy Certiphi email when I should have, and had to call them to have them resend. Don’t want that to...

Is it still worth paying for the preliminary Certiphi report at this point? I got the AAMC-facilitated Certiphi check email today as all of the schools that accepted/waitlisted me require Certiphi. If I only do the AAMC-facilitated one, will I see a copy of my report before they get sent to...

I received an e-mail the other day from Certiphi asking for consent and a fee to perform the same background check that they performed a couple of months ago for a different school. Only this time, I don't know what school it is, if there is any. And I really don't feel like paying again for the...

How long did your Certiphi background check take to get processed? Mine was processed within 5 minutes. I got an email that it was complete and ready to be released to the schools. I logged in and released it. Is that normal ? I thought these background checks take at least few days!

I contacted Certiphi and they told me that only after a school requests a background check can you view yours. However, I have seen several posters that have said they have successfully gotten theirs on their own. It also says on the AMCAS web site that it is available through Certiphi for $71...

I submitted my request for the background check a week and a half ago. In the follow-up email, it said it should take about 3-5 days, but I haven't heard anything back yet. Based on your experience, are long waits for this normal? I imagine they're probably doing a lot of them at this time

I have an infraction which is about a year and a half old which is classified as a civil ordinance violation (not a felony or misdemeanor). I will be applying to med schools next year. The AMCAS only asked about misdemeanors and felonies and most of the secondaries that I have started looking...

Hey, guys. For folks that've received the Certiphi background check email -- when they ask for previous addresses, I assume they mean from the beginning of your life. Problem is, what if you don't remember the exact addresses? Between moving for school and various job placements, I've had...

I wanted to reach out to the previous applicants (specifically with arrests on their record) in order to figure out what I should disclose on my application. So about a year ago, I was arrested for possession of marijuana, I got put into a conditional discharge program and my charges were...
