### Real Estate Agent Background Screening Made Simple

When hiring or onboarding real estate agents, brokerages need a clear, legally compliant way to obtain authorization for background checks, license verification, and reference releases. This **Real Estate Agent Background Screening Authorization Form** streamlines the entire process into one professional, easy-to-complete form that protects both the brokerage and the applicant.

Built specifically for **real estate brokerages, property management firms, and real estate teams**, this template collects all necessary consents and information in one place. Instead of juggling multiple PDFs and email chains, hiring managers can send a single branded form that covers license verification, professional conduct checks, criminal background screening, and client reference releases.

The form includes conditional logic to show relevant fields based on the agent's experience level and prior licensing history, making it efficient for both new and experienced agents. It captures essential details like license numbers, jurisdictions, previous brokerages, and specific authorization language that meets legal requirements.

#### How Paperform elevates your agent screening process

With Paperform's document-style editor, you can customize this authorization form to match your brokerage's brand while maintaining the professional, trustworthy appearance that serious candidates expect.

Connect it to your ATS, CRM, or HR systems via **Stepper** to automatically route completed authorizations to background check providers, notify hiring managers, and update applicant records—no manual data entry required. You can even use Stepper to trigger follow-up emails, schedule interviews, or create tasks for your compliance team based on the submitted information.

For brokerages that need signed acknowledgments, pair this form with **Papersign** to generate formal authorization documents that applicants can eSign immediately after submission, creating a complete audit trail from application to authorization.

#### Built for compliance and efficiency

This template includes disclosure language commonly required for background check authorizations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and state-level requirements, though you should always review with legal counsel for your specific jurisdiction. The structured format ensures you're collecting consistent information from every applicant, making compliance reviews and record-keeping straightforward.

Whether you're a boutique real estate team hiring your first agent or a regional brokerage onboarding dozens of professionals each quarter, this form template gives you a professional, efficient starting point that respects both your time and your applicants' experience.
