Verify your business

Because background checks contain sensitive personal data, the FCRA and data providers require Ethur to confirm that every customer is a legitimate business with a permissible purpose. This is a one-time process.

What you'll need

  • Your legal business name and EIN
  • A business website or other proof of operation
  • A primary contact who can answer questions about your use of reports

How long it takes

Most businesses are verified within one business day. If anything is missing, the team reaches out by email with exactly what's needed.

  • Credit reports require an additional site inspection for some business types — we'll tell you if it applies to you
  • You can order most criminal searches while verification finishes
