Beth Rowley, 4800 Woodward Ave., Detroit, MI 48201
Beth’s confidential FAX – (313)-831-2155

There is a Background Screening Cost & Responsibility explanation sheet included in the Background Check Authorization form, that offers a detailed explanation about types of screening and costs.
     The fee for First Advantage to do the background screening is $23-$30.
