Q:

How long does it take to process an employment verification request?

A:

Employee Verification Requests processed by our office are a priority.  LAUSD verifies previous teaching experience on our own computer-generated forms. It includes all the information that District policy allows us to verify. We use only our electronic format rather than individual forms from other school districts. This process enhances the response time to your request.   However, due to the high volume of requests received for employment verification, most requests will take 1-2 weeks to process.

If your employment verification is processed through The Work Number, you will receive your response in a matter of minutes.  Click here to go to The Work Number website or call directly at (800) 367-2884.
