What we verify, and what we keep private
Each badge is a separate check. It shows what kind of source confirmed it, when, and when it expires. CoStint arranges these checks, but we aren't a licensing authority, and a badge isn't a guarantee about a person or property. It tells you what was checked and when.

What the other side can see
- First name and profession label
- Badges, with who checked them and when
- Assignment city and date range
- The neighborhood, not the exact address
- Overall background check status, when a stay requires one
What the other side never sees
- License numbers, DOB, SSN, or home address
- Uploaded documents or assignment contracts
- Pay rate or stipend details
- Background reports or anything in them
- The exact property address, until you both want to move forward
Credential checks and background screening are separate
You never need a criminal background check to prove you're a healthcare professional. Background screening isn't available yet. If it's added, it will run through an approved screening provider, and only after a landlord accepts your application or you both agree to move forward. The landlord would see whether the status is current, nothing else. CoStint doesn't judge background reports and never sells their contents.
Your controls
Your verification records belong to you. We only share your badge status with a landlord or traveler you're actually dealing with. Reusing your verification outside CoStint is off by default, needs your permission, and can be turned off any time. Expired or revoked badges come off your public profile right away.
