Tip of the Month:Sharing and Requesting Equifax Identity Reports

Whether you’re requesting a report from someone else or viewing and sharing your own, Equifax Identity Report comes with a convenient Identity Report Mailbox so you can keep track of what reports you have viewed and who has viewed yours.

Viewing and Sharing your Report
Once you’ve ordered your Identity Report, you may view it by logging into the Member Center and clicking the “Identity Report” tab. You’ll be able to view your detailed Identity Report, as well as the summary version that you will be able to share with others if you choose to. You will also have access to your Identity Report Mailbox, which offers a “Share This Report” module. Simply enter the e-mail address of the person with whom you would like to share your report. In your mailbox, you may also view all of the reports you have shared and see if they have been viewed. You can even disable further access to your report by a recipient if you choose. The helpful mailbox structure lets you keep track of whom you have shared information with at a quick glance!

Requesting a Report
If you would like to request someone else’s Identity Report, you can do that, too! Simply enter the e-mail address of the person whose report you would like to receive. Even if you haven’t ordered a report for yourself and don’t have access to the Identity Report Mailbox, you can still request a report from someone else.

Steps

  1. Simply log into the Member Center and select the “Identity Report” tab.
  2. Next, click on “Equifax Identity Report™” below the product tabs.
  3. On the following page, you can find a short Report Request form towards the bottom of the screen.
  4. Enter the name and e-mail address of the person you’d like to verify. Once you click “Submit” a Report Request will be sent.
  5. Your recipient will receive instructions on how to order and share their Identity Report with you, should they decide to do so.

If you receive an e-mail that an Equifax Identity Report has been shared with you, simply log into the Member Center to view that report. Recipients who do not have an Equifax account will be prompted to register and verify their identity in order to view your report. When you log into the Equifax Member Center, your Identity Report Mailbox will allow you to view reports that have been shared with you on the “Inbox” tab.
