								- 
									Date of birth is required for all verifications and is now a mandatory field.

- 
									If the verification is for a minor under age 18, you must obtain appropriate
									consent from a parent or court appointed guardian along with proof of
									relationship, such as child’s birth certificate and parent’s
									driver’s license or court document showing guardianship and a
									driver’s license.
									
										- For online services, this is a Yes or No question.
- Web Service users must provide a Y or N in their verification request. See the Interface Specification documentation for more info.
