CrewPass Approved
Every CrewPass Approved member has undergone our standard check. Reports for approved members can be ordered for free.
Crew who pass our checks receive Approved status—no adverse record—and keep that status for 2 years until the next check is due, so employers can be confident checks have been done.
How to get a background check
Employers: create an employer account and order with just a crew member's email—we coordinate with the crew for the information we need and deliver the report. Crew can also purchase checks through their own account.
