IV. Questions

Common questions.

The employer I need isn't a Smithdale client. Can you still help?

No. We only answer for employers who have hired us. If you tell us the employer, we'll let you know and point you to the right place.

Do you need a signed authorization?

For employment only (dates, title, status), a stated permissible purpose is enough. For pay information, we need the employee's signed authorization or their salary key.

How do I know the letter is real?

Every letter carries a verification ID. Enter it on our site to see the same letter we sent.

What does it cost?

$45 for most employers. Some set a different fee for their own records, higher or lower. You'll see the exact amount before you pay, and you pay only when we deliver. Government and social service agencies pay nothing.
