Pre-Authorize Requestor

You have the ability in the VerifyAdvantage system to Pre-Authorize a Requestor that will need to purchase your verification report. Pre-Authorizing a Requestor may help expedite a transaction where time is of the essence, especially if the Requestor is not a registered VerifyAdvantage User.

To Pre-Authorize a Requestor:

  1. From the VerifyAdvantage home page, click Employee and log in.

  2. From the navigation menu, go to Verification and click Pre-Authorize Requestor.

  3. At the Search Criteria Parameters page you can enter as little or as much of the information you have on the person who will be requesting the report and then click Search.

NOTE: If you enter the information and you receive an Information message advising that there are no values which match your search criteria; it is likely that the Requestor is not registered with VerifyAdvantage. At this point you would want to select the Pre-Authorize Non-Registered Requestor button. For details, see Instructions for Pre-Authorizing a Non-Registered Requestor .

  1. When the Search Results are displayed, click Select next to the Requestor you are Pre-Authorizing.

  2. An Instruction page will appear allowing you to grant the authorization electronically or manually.

NOTE:  If you choose to Print and Fax Authorization Forms, this could slow the processing turn around time of the report the Requestor is trying to access. This may result in delayed approval for loans or other transactions you may be processing.

  1. You must complete the information in the Your Information section and then you may view the information on the Requestor who is attempting to purchase a report. Click Next to approve or Reject to deny.

  2. From the Authorize Requestor page you will be given the option to request your Free Annual Report, click Next.

NOTE: You may obtain a free copy of your Employment and Income Verification Report each year. If you have already received your free report within the last year the Request Form must be completed and provided to First Advantage requesting an additional report. The report will be mailed or faxed to you once proof of identity and address has been verified.  

  1. The Consumer Authorization and Release form will now appear, click I Agree to continue.

  2. A legal form will appear titled “A Summary of Your Rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act”. This disclosure must be agreed upon to complete the authorization. To agree, click the I Agree button.   

  3. At the Final Confirmation page, click Continue.

NOTE:  You will be directed back to the homepage. You may now select another menu option from the navigation pane along the top of the page or logout of the system.
