1What is it?

A short, ordered checklist of everything that must be complete before FIX IT will send you job offers. Work down it in order and you will not be blocked.

2Who needs it?

  • Every newly registered FIX IT provider.

3Who doesn't need it?

  • Providers already receiving offers and fully verified.

5Why is it important?

Dispatch only offers work to providers who are verified, in coverage, available and compliant. Missing one item silently removes you from the candidate list.

14Frequently asked questions

Why am I not getting job offers?

Check identity verification, coverage areas, availability windows and expired documents — those four account for almost every case.

Do I need insurance to start?

Not for identity verification, but it is required for higher-value work and strongly recommended from day one.

How do I improve my Trust Score?

Complete each verification milestone, then build completed jobs and customer ratings.

15How FIX IT verifies this

  • Each item is verified through its own documented process.
  • The Compliance Progress widget on your dashboard reads your live verification state and document record.
  • Dispatch eligibility is evaluated in real time — verified, in coverage, available and no expired mandatory document.
