Hiring qualified professionals is one of the most important responsibilities an employer carries. Verifying licenses and credentials ensures that every candidate meets industry standards, maintains legal compliance, and upholds the integrity of your organization. Providence Screening provides thorough, reliable license verification services designed to support confident hiring decisions.
Why Professional License Verification Matters
Incorrect or outdated credentials can expose your organization to major risks. Unverified licenses often lead to compliance issues, financial penalties, and reputational damage. A structured verification process confirms that candidates have the proper training, certifications, and state-approved qualifications.

What Employers Should Look for During Verification
A complete license check includes more than confirming the document’s existence. Employers should validate:
- License status — active, expired, suspended, or restricted
- Issuing authority — state boards or national organizations
- Disciplinary history — past violations or sanctions
- Expiration dates — ensuring validity at the time of hire
This information helps ensure your new hire meets all required legal and professional standards.
How to Avoid Credential Fraud
Unfortunately, credential fraud is more common than many employers realize. Candidates may exaggerate qualifications or provide falsified documents. Using a trusted screening provider reduces this risk. Providence Screening verifies information directly with licensing boards and credentialing bodies to deliver accurate, up-to-date results.
