Effective as of August 1, Virginia auto dealers are now responsible for conducting the mandatory background checks for initial salesperson licenses.
As of now, only these two firms are authorized to complete MVDB licensing background checks. The state MVDB has said previously that more would be added, but as of their latest update last week, the two approved firms remain as follows:
Screening One
Paul Craddock
919-533-5005
Paul.Craddock@screeningone.com
CareerBuilder
Employment Screening
866-255-1852
clientservices@careerbuilderscreening.com
According to the state, when you submit your MVDB 61 form on behalf of a new salesperson, the background check vendor will provide you with a unique identifier code to include under the “Background Check Report Number” line in Section 4 of the application. If you have any questions, please contact the MVDB at (804) 367-1100.
