Essential Forms
This form must be completed and signed by the prospective employee prior to starting any background search procedures.
This form provides your applicants with their rights, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), with regards to the hiring process and their background screening. Everyone who signs a consent form must receive a copy of this document. This protects both the applicant and the potential employer.
Motor Vehicles Release Form

Washington State Motor Vehicle Record Release Form
​Puerto Rico Release of Driving Record
This form sets the parameters for background screenings that fit your company’s background check service needs and budgets.
No “term” agreement. Our clients stay with us because they like us, not because of a two-year term agreement. You pay for the services you use, when you use them.
​Consent Based Social Security Verification
(See links below, both forms must be used)
-
Pre-Approval Form for Consent Based Social Security Number Verification (CBSV)
-
Authorization for the Social Security Administration (SSA) To Release Social Security Number (SSN) Verification
With the consent of the SSN holder, CBSV can verify if the SSN holder’s name, date of birth, and SSN match SSA’s records. CBSV returns a match verification of “yes” or “no.” If our records show that the SSN holder is deceased, CBSV returns a death indicator. CBSV does not verify an individual’s identity.​​
