Once DFS accepts your application and instructs you to proceed, please complete our secure consent form, which provides instructions and requests the information we need.
02
​Moneta Conducts the Research​
Once we receive your consent form, we conduct the required background check and provide status updates throughout the process. We will contact you with any questions or requests for additional information.
03
The Report Is Delivered Securely
