VeriFYI

WELCOME!

What is veriFYI?

Screening out inappropriate individuals from staff or volunteer positions protects clients from harm and reduces the risk of lawsuits filed against your agency.

That's why we've created veriFYI, a comprehensive background check program that encompasses a variety of ways to obtain criminal history. Our standard search, what we call our National Search and Social Security, is a multi-state search that includes:

State records. Most state records show offenses and convictions committed in certain states. Information is taken from Department of Corrections records, Sexual Offense records, Department of Public Safety records, Bureau of Investigations records or Administrator of the Courts records where applicable. To see what information each state provides, click on a state from the list located at the bottom of this page.

Texas State records. Available only in Texas. This typically includes all prior arrests and convictions, including adjudicated records and juvenile offenses committed in Texas. Information is reported by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS).

Social Security trace. To verify identity and ensure that the person being checked is, in fact, who they say they are. This trace includes out-of-state residence information as well.

Multi-State database search of national criminal and sex offender records. This will scan databases from around the country to find any record of arrest, conviction or sexual offense perpetrated.

Who Needs veriFYI?

Whether operating as a nonprofit agency, a faith-based organization, or an organization such as a youth sports league – any tax-supported entity or agency with a 501c3 status that serves a vulnerable clientele should use veriFYI. Simply put, the importance of adding a comprehensive background check program to your group’s staffing policy cannot be overstated.

Why veriFYI?

How well do you know your volunteers or perspective employees? In fact, you can never be too certain about the people you work with, especially when they work with those who are already at risk. That’s why there’s veriFYI.

With veriFYI, your organization has an efficient, cost-effective resource to perform thorough, nationwide background checks on both employee and volunteer applicants. veriFYI also serves as an integral part of your risk management strategy by helping deter offenders from applying. In addition, many insurance companies actually require a national background check. veriFYI fulfills this requirement.
