Step 3: Tenant Approves Request

  • After credit request is submitted, the tenant will receive an email to approve or decline this request. To generate a report, the tenant must complete the steps in the email and answer the identity authentication correctly. If the tenant fails to complete the process, a TransUnion phone support number is provided.

    • Tenant complete online Identity Authentication

Step 4: View Report Online

After your tenant approves the request, an email with a link to view your report at your Sitename.com Screening Center is sent. Reports are available online for 60 days. After the report is generated, your report credit balance is reduced by one.
