Can Payscore Upload Documents on Behalf of an Applicant?

Why applicants must upload their own documents during the verification process

Payscore cannot upload documents on behalf of an applicant.

For security, privacy, and compliance reasons, all document uploads (such as pay stubs, bank statements, or offer letters) must be submitted directly by the applicant through the secure verification workflow.


Why we cannot upload documents for applicants

Our system is designed so that:

  • Documents are securely linked to the applicant’s verification session

  • The applicant provides consent when uploading files

  • Files are transmitted through an encrypted workflow tied to their request

Because of this, support agents and customers are not able to manually attach documents to a verification request.


What to do if an applicant needs to upload documents

If document verification is enabled for the request and the applicant is eligible to upload documents, they will see a document upload step within their verification flow.

You should instruct the applicant to:

  • Log back into their verification link

  • Follow the on-screen steps

  • Upload documents directly when prompted


If the upload option is not visible

Applicants will only be prompted to upload documents in specific scenarios, such as:

  • They were unable to connect a bank or payroll provider

  • Document verification is enabled for your organization

  • Support has guided them to the document upload step (if applicable)

If an applicant does not see an upload option, they should contact Payscore support through live chat or by emailing [email protected] so our team can guide them through the correct next steps.


Important reminder for customers

Please do not ask applicants to email documents to Payscore or to your team for manual upload.

Emailed documents cannot be attached to a verification request and will not be processed through the secure workflow.

Having applicants upload documents directly ensures:

  • Proper data matching to the correct applicant

  • Secure handling of sensitive information

  • Accurate inclusion in the final verification report
