As a background screening professional, I have never heard of a typical 6 day background check.  Our company can check for the following services, but it is up to the individual employer to decide what services they wish to receive:

Criminal, Driving Record, Credit Report, Employment Verification, Education Verification, Civil Records, Federal Criminal, Federal Civil, Federal Bankruptcy, Professional and/or Personal References.
