Our identity verification process uses advanced technology including the kind banks and credit card companies use to protect you from fraud. iCrederity first ensures that the identity being provided by an individual exists and does not belong to a deceased or otherwise inappropriate person. iCrederity then verifies that the identity belongs to the person providing it. This technology builds a web-administered quiz from information contained in billions of public records that only individuals can answer themselves. Responses to questions are analyzed and iCrederity is able to determine to a high degree of certainty whether or not the individual is who he or she claims to be.

As an accredited and leading provider of background checking services, iCrederity has developed a sophisticated system of database connections and processes to derive both qualitative and quantitative verification conclusions based on the information with which we are provided. For example, in many instances we have direct data links to universities and employers to enable real time education background check and experience verification. For reference verifications, we obtain information from references directly and may authenticate references themselves. Through these and other means, iCrederity is able to authenticate credential information. iCrederity respects individual privacy, complies with FCRA regulations and industry best practices such as those established by NAPBS and ASIS, and is authorized as a Designated Agent of the US Department of Homeland Security to assess employment eligibility.

iCrederity can currently verify a wide range of information including: references, employment/work experience, education, licenses and certifications, visa status, legal employment eligibility status, addresses, national security risk status (i.e. OFAC, Patriot Act check), criminal status (county, state, national), retail incidents, bankruptcies, liens, civil judgments, online reputation and feedback, and social network status.

The safety and security of information is our top concern at iCrederity, and we take a number of measures to safeguard the information we process and present. Please review our security profile for more information. iCrederity believes that individual privacy is extremely important and has created a privacy policy and taken other measures to ensure that privacy concerns are addressed.

iCrederity Verified is absolutely free to sign up for. Because iCrederity must expend resources to effectively and thoroughly verify information submitted for verification, we must charge a nominal fee to verify information.

The process can take as little as 3 business days for simple verifications on a short number of items, or up to 21 days for complicated records.
