DISCLOSURE AND AUTHORIZATION CONCERNING BACKGROUND REPORTS
(California)
This Disclosure and Authorization is provided to you in connection with a pending application of
______________________________________________ [company name](“Company”) for licensure or a permit to
organize (“Application”) with a department of insurance in one or more states within the United States. Company desires to
procure a consumer or investigative consumer report (or both)(“Background Reports”) regarding your background for review
by any department of insurance in such states where Company is currently pursuing an Application, because you are either
functioning as, or are seeking to function as, an officer, member of the board of directors or other management representative
(“Affiant”) of Company or of any business entities affiliated with Company (“Term of Affiliation”) for which a Background
Report is required by a department of insurance reviewing any Application. Background Reports will be obtained through
______________________________________________ [name of CRA, address](“CRA”). Background Reports requested
pursuant to your authorization below may contain information bearing on your character, general reputation, personal
characteristics, mode of living and credit standing. The purpose of such Background Reports will be to evaluate the
Application and your background as it pertains thereto. To the extent required by law, the Background Reports procured
under this Disclosure and Authorization will be maintained as confidential.
You may request more information about the nature and scope of Background Reports produced by any consumer reporting
agency (“CRA”) by submitting a written request to Company. You should submit any such written request for more
information, to ____________________________________________________________ [company’s designated person,
position, or department, address and phone].
Attached for your information is a “Summary of Your Rights Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.” You will be provided
with a copy of any Background Report procured by Company if you check the box below.
By checking this box, I request a copy of any Background Report from any CRA retained by Company, at no
extra charge.
Under section 1786.22 of the California Civil Code, you may view the file maintained on you by the CRA listed above. You
may also obtain a copy of this file, upon submitting proper identification and paying the costs of duplication services, by
appearing at the CRA in person or by mail; you may also receive a summary of the file by telephone. The CRA is required to
have personnel available to explain your file to you and the CRA must explain to you any coded information appearing in
your file. If you appear in person, you may be accompanied by one other person of your choosing, provided that person
furnishes proper identification.
AUTHORIZATION: I am currently an Affiant of Company as defined above. I have read and understand the above
Disclosure and by my signature below, I consent to the release of Background Reports to a department of insurance in any
state where Company files or intends to file an Application, and to the Company, for purposes of investigating and reviewing
such Application and my status as an Affiant. I authorize all third parties who are asked to provide information concerning
me to cooperate fully by providing the requested information to CRA retained by Company for purposes of the foregoing
Background Reports, except records that have been erased or expunged in accordance with law.
I understand that I may revoke this Authorization at any time by delivering a written revocation to Company and that
Company will, in that event, forward such revocation promptly to any CRA that either prepared or is preparing Background
Reports under this Disclosure and Authorization. In no event, however, will this authorization remain in effect beyond six (6)
months following the date of my signature below.
A true copy of this Disclosure and Authorization shall be valid and have the same force and effect as the signed original.
