Official no, practically yes. You only need to create an account for two reasons. 1. If the yearly query companies are required to do come back as full query is needed (means that there are entries in the database for you.) 2. New employee background check. So the easy part, never do drugs or alcohol when on duty. You'll never have to sign up for this reason. The second reason you need an account is a bit harder to avoid. I guess if you already have a job at UPS or plan on retirement soon, but for most people it's impractical.
If someone wants to see ur history they will ask for access. You will get an email warning u someone is requesting access. You will have to log on and allow or deny... If u dont respond in 30 days it's considered a refusal.. They will flag ur lisc.
No matter what they say, the government nor anyone else can force me, a U.S. citizen, to use e-mail. Or to start using e-mail. Or use e-mail as an excuse to find me guilty of anything. No one. Go find an envelope and a stamp, and use the frickin Postal service that the Loser castrated, and I will respond in due time.
