Effective April 1, 2025, MVDB has reduced the number of authorized vendors for background checks. Dealers are responsible for completing the required background checks for initial salesperson licenses. A criminal background check is required before the MVDB 61 can be submitted for the licensing of a new salesperson. You may contact one of the providers listed below to complete your background checks. Be sure to select the complete MVDB background check package. Upon completing the background check the vendor will assign a unique background identifier code specific to the applicant. This identifier code is what you will insert into the MVDB 61 prior to sending the application to the MVDB.
Only the FOUR (4) providers listed below are authorized by the MVDB.

If you currently have an account with a vendor not listed on our new listing of authorized vendors, the MVDB will process the applications you submitted that are currently in process. You must move to one of the approved providers no later than April 1, 2025. After April 1, 2025, if the MVDB receives an application with an unapproved background check provider, we will not accept the application, and you will be required to submit an authorized background check.
If you have a question or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact Ann Majors at ann.majors@mvdb.virginia.gov, or 804-367-1100 X 3016#.
