How the Process Works
01
DFS Authorizes Background Check
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
Moneta prepares the Background Check Package, including the background report, credit report, professional references, and relevant news articles, if any. We then deliver the password-protected documents securely to DFS, as directed. You will receive notification of delivery.
