  • Please be aware that IdenTrust charges for their services.  Be sure to have a Credit Card ready to pay for this service.
  • IdenTrust requires a Credit Card and other personal information for the person applying for the token - this is used in the Background Check process.  
  • IdenTrust requires that the token is mailed to the home address of the person that is undergoing the background check.
