Credentialing

Some screening workflows require confirmation that your business exists, has an authorized purpose, and is prepared to handle screening information responsibly.

• Business identity and contact information may be reviewed.
• Your screening use case and permissible purpose may need to be documented.
• Your team may need to show that consent, privacy, and access practices are ready.

Credentialing may apply to organizations requesting employee, vendor, contractor, driver, tenant, or regulated screening workflows.

• Employers launching role-based background checks.
• Transportation or NEMT teams screening drivers and vendors.
• Property teams requesting tenant, vendor, or contractor workflows.
• Organizations requesting sensitive data source access.

A simple preparation path helps your team gather the right information before review.

• Confirm the legal business name, address, website, and primary contacts.
• Define who will be screened and why screening is needed.
• Prepare business verification documents and signer information.
• Review consent, notices, adverse action, and applicant communication responsibilities.
• Plan for any inspection or follow-up request if required.

Credentialing is easier when business records and internal owners are organized before launch.

• Business name, DBA, address, phone, website, and support contact.
• Authorized officer or signer who can confirm the intended screening use.
• Compliance contact who can answer policy or process questions.
• Estimated monthly volume and the types of people being screened.

Document needs can vary, but teams should be ready to verify business identity and location.

• Business registration or licensing documents if requested.
• Proof of address, lease, office ownership, or location details if applicable.
• Website, IP, or domain information if the use case requires it.
• Written description of intended screening purpose and expected usage.

A Letter of Intent may be requested to explain how your organization plans to use screening information.

• Describe your company and type of business.
• Explain the intended use of consumer data or screening information.
• Include usage volume, scope, signer name, title, and date.

Some credentialing reviews may include a virtual inspection to confirm business location and access controls.

• Be available at the business location.
• Have a phone, tablet, or laptop ready for video.
• Be prepared to show office areas if requested.
• Allow time for questions, photos, or follow-up details.

Most delays are avoidable when the business, signer, documents, and inspection contact are ready.

• Business name or address does not match documents.
• The intended screening use case is too broad or unclear.
• The authorized signer or compliance contact is unavailable.
• Inspection scheduling or requested proof of location is incomplete.
