Mastercheif is correct. There are two types of hits, a soft hit and a hard hit. A soft hit is used mostly for age/ID verification (applying for a job, apartment, etc). A hard hit is when you apply for credit.
A hard hit will lower your score slightly, but not significantly. The hit will, however, show on your file. And like V_Rocks said, other creditors will see those hits and use them in their decisioning process.
