In Georgia, a criminal background check can go back as far as the employer wants it to. However, most employers only look back seven years. This is because, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), employers can only get information that is accurate, relevant, and not outdated for the job they are hiring for.

Georgia State Laws on Employment Background Checks Under OCGA § 35-3-34(3)(b), employers that obtain criminal history records and decide not to hire them must inform the applicants about the origin of the information, its contents, and how it affected the decision not to hire them.

Georgia employers who partner with a CRA to conduct a Georgia background check for employment must comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The FCRA restricts non-conviction information reported by a CRA to a 7-year lookback period which includes civil judgments, tax liens, and most credit report information.
