How long does a background check take?

I am being considered for a position at AMR and the manager tipped me off that HR is doing a background check on me. I have no issue on whether or not I will pass, I am just wondering if anybody has a general idea of how long this will take. Are there contributing factors such as how many past addresses i've had and how many states I've lived in? Thank you in advance.

    The background check will take a couple of days. They will be looking for your debt ratio, criminal background, etc.

    I used to have yearly background checks to work in nursing homes and hospitals. They usually took a matter of minutes.

    There is no way to know without knowing what they are looking for. A credit check, references, history or employment and criminal history are the usual things. And some of these take good old fashioned leg work

    If they send in your fingerprints - it will take longer. A regular computer check by DOB & SSN takes seconds.
