If you have a valid United States SSN, select YES. If not, select NO.

You will be redirected to the Verified Volunteers website, USA Basketball's background check vendor. Enter the required information and click Continue.

Create your account by entering a username and password. Check the second box to accept the Terms of Use. You may check the first box to set up security questions at this time as well if you would like. Click Create Account to move on.

Enter the residential information requested and select Continue. If you have lived at any additional addresses in the last seven years, add them and the dates you lived there.

Check the box at the top to verify that your information is correct.
