Get a Salary Key
A salary key is a single-use, six-digit code that you can provide to a verifier as consent to access your income information. Your consent is provided at point-of-application (for example, when you sign a loan application).
The new salary key can be printed or emailed with instructions for the verifier on how to use it through The Work Number. At any point, you can select the “Salary Key Activity” link to view the status (used, unused, expired) of keys created.
