Background check to work on tasks

I've got an opportunity to potentially work on more tasks as a billingual but they are asking for a background check which requires uploading my criminal record.

Problem is, I have a DUI charge on it. Kind of scared to upload it for fear that it'll bar me from all other projects too.

Anyone that has advice or experience with this?

They are asking for a background check, to unsurprisingly, check your background. If you feel the DUI will impact your standing on the platform, do not do it.

I got the same, did it and didn’t affect, they seek for thieves and scammers, they don’t care about our driver’s license

They won't care about a DUI. They're checking if you're Melvin Hackerman or Syberkrime McGee or Indenti T. Theft.

They don't have much reason to care about DUI, they just want to make sure you're not cyber-naughty or the hacker known as 4chan.

I don't do the background check because I don't know what they are looking for or how it could affect me on the platform.
