Oregon Release and Authorization is a form that is required for employers in the state of Oregon to request background checks for potential or current employees. It is also a way for employers to comply with state and federal employment laws. The form is completed and signed by the applicant, and the employer then requests the background check from the Oregon State Police. The Oregon Release and Authorization form includes the applicant's full name, date of birth, address, social security number, and signature. It also includes a section that specifies the type of background check being requested, such as criminal record, credit report, or drug testing. There are two types of Oregon Release and Authorization forms: the standard form and the Enhanced form. The standard form is used when employers are requesting a basic background check, such as criminal record or credit report. The Enhanced form is used when employers are requesting more detailed background checks, such as drug testing.
