The term “proper identification” means information generally deemed sufficient to identify a person. This includes documents such as a valid driver’s license, social security account number, military identification card, and credit cards. Only if you are unable to reasonably identify yourself with the information described above, may an investigative consumer reporting agency require additional information concerning your employment and personal or family history in order to verify your identity.
The investigative consumer reporting agency shall also provide trained personnel to explain any information provided to you.
The investigative consumer reporting agency shall provide a written explanation of any coded information contained in files maintained on you. This written explanation shall be distributed whenever a file is provided to you for visual inspection as required under Section 1786.22.
You will be permitted to be accompanied by one other person of your choosing, who shall furnish reasonable identification. The investigative consumer reporting agency may require you to furnish a written statement granting permission to the agency to discuss your file in such person’s presence.
