I have all my documents, but the job hunt is taking longer than expected. I thought I read somewhere the background check was good for 6 months from the date of issue. Someone else is telling me its only good for 90 days. Does any one know for sure how long it is valid?

I have read 6 months as well. 90 days seems too short.

I think it's six months. That would make more (albeit not total) sense, as it takes over four months to GET one.

6 calendar months from date of issue until it lands on the desk at K-immi.

6 months + 1 day and you may need to get another one.

Thanks for the replies. My recruiter has also just told me it's good for 6 months.
