==Using external verification services in your signup page==
Confirm an organization’s charity status or other types of statuses prior to registering. The IRS/CRA/UK/ABN/CRO/NCES lookup enables users to find an organization in a 3rd party database. Once the organization is selected, the information from the selected database is used to populate the signup page. This lookup can be used to confirm or deny the status of an organization as a charity. You can also optionally exclude types of organizations; for example, on the IRS search you could choose to exclude churches.

===How to setup signup page that uses the IRS verification service===
Before you begin you need to setup a custom field to hold the '''Employer Identification Number''' (EIN) value. The Federal Tax Identification Number, is a unique nine-digit number assigned by the '''Internal Revenue Service''' (IRS) to business entities operating in the United States for the purposes of identification. This is typically created as text box type field on organizations and then you will want to permission the field based on which types of organizations in your system will have this number.
