Background Checks & Driving Records

The City of Newcastle follows Washington State law regarding background checks.

• Background checks are conducted only after a conditional offer of employment is accepted
• Background checks are never conducted without the candidate’s consent
• For positions that require driving a City vehicle, a Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL) driving record check will also be completed

The City uses Alliance 2020 to conduct background and driving record checks.
