BACKGROUND CHECKS*
- Require a match to complete a background check before meeting.
- Results valid for 12 months, no need to repeat for every date.
- Users who complete a check receives a profile badge.

Skip partners with Checkr to offer background checks. These checks require SSN verification, helping reduce fraud risk compared with name-only screening. Screening may include, where available:
Sex offender registry
- Searches registries from all 50 states, Washington DC, and US territories.
Global watchlist search
- Searches a comprehensive network of domestic and international government watchlists for criminal history.
National criminal search
- Searches county records that queries up to 900 million public records.

*NOTE ON BACKGROUND CHECK REQUIREMENTS
- Availability depends on match type and user settings.
- For eligible users, the background check requirement setting is enabled by default, but can be turned on or off.
- Background checks help reduce risk but do not verify identity or guarantee safety.
- Who can require a background check depends on match type and the user’s selected experience. In women seeking men matches, women may require men to complete a background check before proposing a date, men cannot require a background check from women in this match type. In other match types, the ability to require a match to complete a background check is available only to users who choose the “screen others” experience.

*SKIPS DEFINITIONS: “Ghosting” means a user stops replying in chat, leaving the other person without clarity on whether things are continuing. “Bots” means automated chat messages not sent by a real person. “Unsolicited pics or D*ck pics” means photos sent in chat without consent, often inappropriate. Skip does not offer in-app chat, so these issues do not occur within Skip.
