The Mississippi Release and Authorization is a legal document that is signed by an individual to authorize the release of confidential information. It is used to give permission to a third party to access, use, and disclose personal information or records. This authorization is typically used for background checks, medical information, and other confidential information. There are three types of Mississippi Release and Authorization: Employee Background Check Release, Medical Information Release, and General Authorization Release. The Employee Background Check Release allows an employer to access an employee’s criminal history, credit history, and other confidential information. The Medical Information Release allows access to an individual’s medical records and history. The General Authorization Release allows access to confidential information such as financial records, education records, or other personal records.
