Introduction


Read below for the latest news from the Validity Screening Solutions team.   We appreciate your business so please let us know if there is anything we can assist you with.

We hosted our 2nd Annual Birthday Bash on Friday, June 20, 2008 at Kauffman Stadium. The events of the evening included a barbeque, the Kansas City Royals baseball game, a fireworks show and a food drive. In attendance were over 250 guests, including Validity’s VIP guests from the Ronald McDonald House.

Nearly every year the price of state driving records increases. Sometimes the increase is nominal; in other cases the increase can be quite significant. For example, in 2007 the state of Washington doubled the price of their motor vehicle records. This year, the price for obtaining a motor vehicle record in the state of Missouri increased by 300%.
New Service
Validity would like to announce that we have recently added E-Verify to our list of services. E-Verify is an on-line system operated by the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration that allows employers to check the work status of new hires.

Validity’s iDology:

Validity is built on an iDology that guides every action - from what we do and how we do it to whom we hire and whom we serve. That iDology is simple: We believe the only way to separate fact from fiction is by going to the information's source instead of second-hand data. As a result, you get more accurate information - information that helps you make confident business decisions
