Virtual Assistant Background Checks

In an effort to help alleviate some of the apprehension in the decision to utilize a Virtual Assistant, VRSI requires all our Virtual Assistants (VA) to undergo an extensive background check. Where applicable, each VA has obtained a Fingerprint Clearance Card. This card signifies that the Virtual Assistant has passed a state and federal criminal history background check and that their identity has been verified.

Please check below each Virtual Assistants (VA) profile for a copy of their Fingerprint Clearance Card.
