The New York Background Information and Authorization Form is a document used by employers, educational institutions, and financial institutions in the state of New York. This form provides authorization for the organization to conduct a background investigation into an individual's history, which may include credit checks, criminal history checks, and motor vehicle records checks. The form also includes a full disclosure of the individual's rights, including the right to know what information is being collected, the right to see the results of the background check, and the right to dispute any inaccurate or incomplete information. There are two different types of New York Background Information and Authorization Form: the Standard Form and the Financial Institution Form. The Standard Form is used for general screening purposes, while the Financial Institution Form is used for screening for potential employees who work in the financial industry.
