GUIDANCE:
Emails have limited security features, therefore it is best practice to password protect documents sent via email. We advise you to use your VF Candidate Reference Number as a password, so only the recipient (Verifile) can open the document.
Alternatively, you can securely upload any documents to your online Background Screening form using the below link:
