Closures - MBI Worldwide Background Checks and Drug Screening

Written by Admin | Mar 17, 2020 4:00:00 AM

Due to the current COVID-19 situation, many schools, court houses and drug screening labs are closed or operating with minimal staff.  Unfortunately, this is causing some delays in processing requests.

Our team is working as efficiently and quickly as possible to ensure you continue to receive the same level of service you expect from us.

ETA's will be updated daily, and your account manager will reach out to you if extremely lengthy delays are expected.  Please call MBI's Client Services with any questions or concerns at 866-275-4624.  Thank you!
