Membership

How TVS membership works:

 

  1. You must Sign Up to become a member; there is no cost for this. However, there is a membership & confidentiality agreement that you need to review and agree to before you can use the Service. TVS must establish your Identity and your permissible purpose for obtaining Consumer information.
  2. For Consumer Credit Reports you must provide documents as per the membership application confirming rental property ownership and documents that identify who you are before the account can be activated.
    NOTICE: TVS requires documentation in Compliance with Credit Bureau Policy.
  3. For Criminal + Eviction + Application Verification Reports: You are only required to complete the membership agreement and the questionnaire that follows. We still need to establish your identity, but you ARE NOT required to submit documents for these reports as in #2. Your account can be activated immediately during business hours.

    Please see below which documents are required from you:
