How Datasource Works
Screen applicants in three easy steps with zero paperwork, bank-grade encryption, and automatic compliance.
Send the Invite
From your dashboard or shareable listing link, enter your applicant's name, email, mobile phone, proposed rent, and monthly income. It takes just 30 seconds.
Applicant Completes It
The tenant receives a secure invite via text and email. They sign digital consent, confirm their identity, and pay the screening fee online.
Get Your Report
You receive an instant notification when the check is completed. Open the comprehensive, crisp background check directly on your phone or desktop.
Bank-Grade Data Protection & Legal Privacy
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), tenant background checks require strict permissible purpose and applicant consent. Datasource guarantees:
100% Privacy Guarantee
Sensitive financial and identity information is entered directly by the tenant and never stored on local servers.
Automated Consent
All required legal disclosures and electronic signatures are captured automatically during the online check.
Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to help you get started quickly.
Who pays for the screening report?
The applicant pays the screening fee directly online when completing their application. Realtors never need to input credit card details or collect paper checks.
How fast do results come back?
Most background reports process instantly or within a few hours once the applicant submits their information. You will see live status updates on your dashboard.
Can I send invitations from my smartphone?
Yes! The portal is built mobile-first. You can send screening invitations, generate listing QR codes, and review completed reports anywhere right from your phone.
What prevents duplicate screening charges?
Our intelligent screening verification system checks previous orders before sending invites. If an applicant already has an active screening in progress or valid check, duplicate requests are prevented automatically.
