  • 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.
