Employment Verification Through the Work Number

  • Most employment verifications can be quickly obtained by calling The Work Number®.  The Work Number® is an automated service that allows third parties (e.g., mortgage companies, prospective landlords, and social service agencies, etc.) to obtain verification of employment and income for employees. The Work Number® is widely known to mortgage lenders, banks, apartment complexes, and social service agencies. The Work Number® can be used anytime, anywhere – available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
