Professional Licenses & Credentials

When applying for a position, some jobs require certain certifications or professional licenses to perform the job at hand. For jobs that require specific certifications, a professional license verification should be conducted. Employers use this search to verify the validity of an applicant’s professional licenses and/or certifications. If an employee who applies for a position claims to have the required certifications, then it’s the employer’s responsibility to ensure that this information is accurate and true prior to hiring them. Professional license verification will conduct a search to determine and ensure that the individual is in fact certified and/or holds the proper license(s) to perform the job duties.

When DISA conducts a professional license verification, our professionals make direct contact with the responsible accrediting agency and/or professional association via online or telephone inquiries. The verification process includes:

• applicant’s license number
• type of license/certification issued
• date issued
• expiration date
• any disciplinary actions, sanctions, suspensions, or revocations

Professional or educational licenses and credentials can cover a wide variety of job industries including, but not limited to:

• Medical
• Accounting
• Transportation
• Engineering
