Connecticut Release and Authorization is a legal document used in Connecticut to provide permission to a third party to obtain a consumer's credit report from a credit bureau. This document may be used for employment purposes, to verify an individual's identity, or to determine loan eligibility. There are two types of Connecticut Release and Authorization: a single-report authorization and a multi-report authorization. A single-report authorization allows the third party to access only the consumer's credit report from one bureau, while a multi-report authorization allows the third party to access the consumer's credit reports from multiple bureaus. The authorization must contain certain information, including the consumer's name, address, Social Security number, date of birth, and the name and address of the third party that is requesting the report. It must also include the consumer's signature and date of signature.
