Worried About License Suspension Impacting Job Background Check? Here's What to Know

Hi, I got a new offer in a top company. My license is suspended due to drunk driving for 3 years, and I also paid a fine in court. It happened suddenly, but my license suspension is not yet completed.

Will that affect the background verification done by the company?

What should I say if they ask for my license?

Could anyone provide information on this?

Certainly, 'drink and drive' is not only an offense in the eyes of the law but also indicates irresponsible behavior and conduct in society. However, it may directly affect your prospects for a new job. Asking for a private license is not a prerequisite for a job unless the position involves driving and you need to submit a valid license. But if asked, please be honest and declare the facts.
