How we check people and businesses

What we promise

• Every person here passed an ID check. Every job comes from a checked person or a verified business.
• ID check passed means a person's government ID and live face were checked.
• Verified business means a person at Lerabase checked the business papers and the EIN. The papers are linked to an Owner who passed the ID check.
• Every other fact on a page is self-reported. The person or business wrote it, and Lerabase did not prove it.
• Lerabase is not a staffing agency. It does not hire, pay, or place anyone.
• Lerabase does not certify job skills. It does not prove who legally owns a business or that it has insurance. It does not say if a worker is an employee or a contractor. It does not say if anyone follows the rules.
• Lerabase never gets a person's background report, driving record, drug test, or Clearinghouse result. We do not read, score, or keep one.
• Lerabase does not replace an employer's own legal hiring duty.

How we check people

Every person passes the ID check before others can find them. Here is how it works:

1. The person takes photos of a government ID.

2. They do a short live face check with their camera.

3. The system reads the ID and checks that the face matches.

4. A person at Lerabase looks at any check the system cannot settle alone.

ID check passed means a person's government ID and live face were checked.

It does not prove job skills, a clean record, or insurance. It does not mean a person is safe. Lerabase does not certify job skills. It does not prove who legally owns a business or that it has insurance. It does not say if a worker is an employee or a contractor. It does not say if anyone follows the rules.

Lerabase never gets a person's background report, driving record, drug test, or Clearinghouse result. We do not read, score, or keep one.

Every other fact on a page is self-reported. The person or business wrote it, and Lerabase did not prove it.

We delete the ID photos 30 days after the answer. Read Your photos: what we keep, what we delete, and when for the details.

Lerabase is not a staffing agency. It does not hire, pay, or place anyone. Lerabase does not replace an employer's own legal hiring duty.

If something looks wrong, use Report something on the page. A person at Lerabase reads every report.

How we check businesses

Here is how a business gets there:

1. The business adds its papers in Business verification.

2. A person at Lerabase reads them and checks them against the EIN evidence.

3. The papers must be tied to an Owner who passed the ID check.

4. We tell the Owner the result on the business page and in Notices.

Other words you may see on a business:

Not claimed. Nobody has taken charge of this Services page yet.

Certificate on file: (name), through (date). A person checked that named paper, and it is good through that date.

Self-reported. The business wrote this fact. Every other fact on a page is self-reported. The person or business wrote it, and Lerabase did not prove it.

Verified business is not a promise about the business. Lerabase does not certify job skills. It does not prove who legally owns a business or that it has insurance. It does not say if a worker is an employee or a contractor. It does not say if anyone follows the rules.

Lerabase never gets a person's background report, driving record, drug test, or Clearinghouse result. We do not read, score, or keep one.

A business page shows no word when nothing was checked. We never guess.

If a business page looks wrong or fake, use Report on that page.
