The Story of Your Hard Work
Access and manage your employment and income data available in The Work Number®.
Helping to Power Life’s Key Moments
If you’ve ever bought a house, applied for a job, or applied for government benefits — without having to take extra steps to help verify your income or employment — you likely benefited from automated digital verifications from a service like The Work Number.
Without The Work Number, you may need to provide extra paperwork during the application process. With The Work Number, you typically don't have to call around or send out requests for documents. Instead, your data is available automatically to credentialed verifiers with a permissible purpose under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).

How Automated Verifications Typically Work
You Submit an Application
A verification typically starts with you and an important life event. For example, you submit an application for a loan, job, or government benefits.
Your Application is Reviewed
The verifier may want to confirm your employment and, in some cases, your income. You would typically give them permission during the application process.
You Can Get a Quicker Decision
The verifier uses The Work Number database to verify your information, which can help them make quicker and more efficient decisions.
Your Benefits
Quicker Decisions
Data is available 24/7 so that verifiers can quickly and easily access your information. This can help speed up the decisioning process for loans, job applications, and other services.
Less Work For You
The verifier can access your information through The Work Number. You don’t have to track down pay stubs or employment letters, or set up a separate account.
You Have Control
You can see what data of yours is on The Work Number. You can also see the names of any verifiers that have requested your information in the last 24 months. Request a data freeze at any time and at no cost, or start a data dispute in the unlikely event that you find an error.
You Have Control
We recognize that your information on The Work Number is more than just data. It’s the story of your hard work. You can view and manage access to your employment data 24/7.
