Jane Doe and John Doe are fictional. Every document shown is stamped SAMPLE and no real person, address, or document number appears.
How to read it
Five tabs, in the order you will read them
Tabs only appear for checks that were ordered. Both samples ran the Complete Screening: identity verification, an Equifax credit report, a global watchlist check, and adverse media screening.
1.Summary
The one-screen read: who applied, their Equifax score, debt and rent as a share of income, and a status line for every check.
Look for: The three marks beside name, date of birth, and address (checked against the ID), the three gauges, and any pill that is not Clear.
- Jane All clear
- 747 credit score, 29% rent to income, every pill Clear.
- John Needs review
- 571 credit score, 42% rent to income, ID Needs review, three credit flags, one adverse media match.
2.Applicant Info
Everything the applicant typed in: legal name, contact details, current address, employer, stated income, the questionnaire, and any documents they uploaded.
Look for: Income and employment are what the applicant stated, not verified. The pay stub they upload is there for you to compare against it.
- Jane All clear
- Registered nurse at $88,000 a year, one small cat, one vehicle.
- John Needs review
- Joint application with Mary Doe, a large dog, two vehicles, and an address that differs from the ID.
3.ID Verification
The captured ID, front and back, plus the provider's read of it: document type, number, issue and expiry dates, and whether the address matches the application.
Look for: The Overall score. Clear means no anomalies. In review means the provider flagged something and the decision is yours: approve, decline, or ask for a resubmission.
- Jane All clear
- Clear and Verified. Every field matches the application.
- John Needs review
- In review. The licence still shows a previous Surrey address and expires within 90 days.
4.Credit
The full Equifax file: score with the bureau's reason codes, addresses and employers on record, every tradeline with its payment history, inquiries, legal items, and collections.
Look for: Bankruptcies, collections, late payments, and legal proceedings at the top, then the tradelines to see which account is behind and by how much.
- Jane All clear
- Five tradelines, 100% on time, nothing past due.
- John Needs review
- A $1,840 unpaid BC Hydro collection, a $3,150 small claims judgment, a card 30 to 59 days past due, revolving credit 93.6% used.
5.Background
The global watchlist and sanctions search and the adverse media screening, each with a status, a result, and the names that were searched.
Look for: A match is a name match, not a confirmed identity. The report gives you the article and the source so you can judge it yourself.
- Jane All clear
- No match found on either search.
- John Needs review
- Watchlist clear. One adverse media article on the name, listed with its source.
The report's vocabulary
Three marks and three pills carry every judgment in the report. They mean the same thing on every tab.
- matches: the value on the application is the value on the ID
- ≈close: a near match worth a second look, such as a formatting difference
- differs: the ID says something else. No mark means the ID cannot check that field.
- Clear
- Needs review
- Matches found
Clear is a pass. Needs review means a person has to decide. Matches found means the search returned something for the name, and the details are on the tab.
What is not in it
- No criminal record check. That is a police service in Canada, run with the applicant's consent through the RCMP or a local force, and it is not part of any package.
- No eviction search. Legal proceedings on the credit file are what the bureau holds, such as John's small claims judgment, not a tribunal search.
- Income is stated, not verified. The applicant enters it and uploads a pay stub. The rent to income gauge uses that figure. In the sample, the property manager phoned the employer and left a note, which is what the Notes panel is for.
