# Requesting a Worker Verification (Railroad Administrators)

Railroad organization administrators can request credential verification through the RailID Lookup screen.

## Steps

1. Ask the worker to share their RailID number with you directly
2. Go to **Compliance → RailID Lookup** in the left sidebar
3. Enter the worker's RailID number in the search field (format: RID-YYYY-NNNNN)
4. The scope selector appears once a valid format is entered:
   * **Certifications** — FRA certification program records (checked by default)
   * **Work History** — career history entries (checked by default)
   * **Qualifications** — crew position and territory qualifications (checked by default)
   * **Drug & Alcohol Status** — requires worker opt-in (unchecked by default)
5. Select the credential types you need
6. Click **Request Verification**

A confirmation message appears and the request is listed in the Pending and Recent Requests table with status **Awaiting Response**. The worker has 30 days to respond. You will be notified when they approve or deny the request.
