Having trouble lately with setting up an appointment. Everybody wants two references. Only have one recent that is still around. Any way to overcome this barrier or anybody know someone good that doesn’t require references?

If you send a photo of your DL (cover the address), and then match that up with a business account on Linkedln, or a business website, that should work as a second source for them.  

I always find a way to get people in for the first time.  If all else fails, we meet at a coffee shop and I check their DL and chat awile.  It is the last resort, because it does take extra time. But,  usually people compensate with an added $50 for that.  After all, joining P411 or other verification sites has a price...

Some providers don't want to hassle with doing any extra screening.  Maybe it just takes too much effort.  However, once you're verified, you're IN!  

Good Luck.  I'm happy to help.

I don’t require or rely solely on references. In my experience, they don’t always work out anyway. If you’re ok with providing some basic real info, especially if you can verify you’re employment, you should be good to go! And one solid reference should be better than none. (In my opinion) Good luck!
