FAQ

Where can I purchase an Honesty Credential?
Here, there, everywhere… You can purchase your Credential from any participating online dating site, social networking site, recruitment site, or ecommerce site and very soon you will be able to purchase your Credential right here as well.

What information do I need to give Honesty Online for you to perform my Verification?
Not much… Honesty Online is sensitive to the fact that you would prefer to divulge as little personal information over the Internet as possible, so our proprietary technology is capable of verifying your identity using limited personal information. Honesty Online requires name, address and date-of-birth for the basic identity verification and criminal background check. To verify your professional background (education, employment, certifications), Honesty Online requires basic information about your school, job, or license, and your social security number.

How long does it take to obtain an Honesty Credential?
Not long… a basic Verification, or a Verification with a background check, takes less than 5 minutes. Verifying your professional background (education, employment, certifications) can take up to an additional 3 days.

Once I elect to purchase a Credential, can I change my mind?
Depends what you mean… Immediately after you click to confirm your purchase, Honesty Online begins its investigations. At that point, you will be charged for your order. However, after Honesty Online presents you with the results, you have the option to accept the results and display your Credential or you may choose not to accept the results and the Credential will not be posted nor will there be any indication to others that an Honesty Online investigation had been performed.

Is my personal information safe with Honesty Online?
YES… Honesty Online secures your personal information, both the information you give us and what we obtain through our verification process. All personal information provided during the Verification process is transmitted over Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Check out our Terms of Use for further details.

How reliable is an Honesty Online Verification?
Very… Honesty Online understands that for identity verification to be meaningful it has to be highly accurate, so we use the most comprehensive sources for data coupled with our proprietary targeting technology that allows us to more accurately and rapidly sort through the abundance of records.

How secure is my Credential?
Very… Honesty Online was founded on the principles of protecting you, the consumer, so we developed a patent-pending technology designed specifically to prevent others from stealing or “spoofing” your Credential.

Isn’t it possible for someone to obtain a false Credential using an online background check service?
NO… and we are so sure of our process that we are making the following offer: If you obtain a background check from an online, publicly available background check provider and then get an Honesty Online Verification, and you show us that your third-party background check report included all the information necessary to pass your Honesty Online identity quiz, we will refund the cost of BOTH your third-party background check AND your Honesty Online Verification (up to $100 total). You must provide us your third-party background check report within two weeks of obtaining your Honesty Online Verification.
