Your sensitive information goes only to TransUnion. Your Social Security number, date of birth and payment details are entered on TransUnion's secure site, never on ours. Checking your own report this way is a "soft" inquiry and won't lower your credit score.
Application received. Thank you!
Next step: watch for an email from TransUnion SmartMove (from mysmartmove.com), usually within 1 business day. Follow it to verify your identity, authorize your screening and pay the $49 fee. We can't review your application until the screening is complete.
