​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Employment Verifications​

​Effective January 30, 2023 the State of Idaho has begun using Experian Employer Services for all income and employment verifications for both current and former employees.

​Verifier Instructions:

 ​
If you are a commercial verifier:

Go to www.experianverify.com​ to register or submit your verification request​​​ online. 

  • ​You will need the following information to request a verification:
    • Employee's Last Four of Social Security Number
    • Employee's First & Last Name
    • Name of Employer:  State of Idaho
    • Signed Authorization (if requesting income)

​​​Note: Experian only has income information up to the June 23, 2023 pay date, but all verifications must still process through Experian. 

If your request is income driven and you need an updated YTD, you must reach out to Experian Verify's support center at 404-382-5400, option 2, or verify.support@experian.com to request an updated year-to-date. Your request will be processed and your original report will be updated, typically within 24-business hours of the request being made.

 

If you are a government or social service verifier:

Please submit your request online free of charge at www.experia​nverify.com​.  You can also send your request by email to verify@experian.com or fax to 404-829-1336.


For verbal verifications:

Go to www.experia​nverify.com​ to register or submit your verification request online


Alternatively, you can verify employment on Transparent Idaho​, the State's transparency database. This database is free, public, does not require registration, and is updated nightly.


You can search our workforce by entering an employee's name as 'Last Name, First Name' into the search bar on the main page, and then select the employee from the populated dropdown (you must hover over the search bar) or press enter and select their name on the next page to filter their history. Scroll down and use the side scroller at the bottom this page to see the "Status" column.


Note: The dropdown that appears will list either a job title for active employees or "Former Employee" for terminated employees beneath their names.

The date in the "Separation * Date" column on the returned query should be ignored if the "Status" column says "Current", as this date will reflect the nightly update that occurs Monday - Saturday.
