I was gonna say to use the sites like Date Check, RoomService2000, or Preferred 411, but they might need some of that info as well. I do know you can get on DC via a provider referral, sorry don't know what I had to provide them, the mind is a terrible thing, I know.
Suggest you go to one and read their terms and conditions for membership, quite lengthy on DC so I will let you read it instead of doing it for you.
Your only alternative is to seek out some well-reviewed providers that advertise as 'newbie-friendly'. Their screening might be enough to get your foot in the hobbying door so to speak.
You do need to start posting on your regional board to establish a board presence, and when you do get to see a provider, start posting reviews. Once providers see your name multiple times, it will be easier to get screened.
Hi, I'm just wondering if there are any ways for a newbie to get verified that don't involve giving an employer as reference? I am technically self-employed as I play online poker for a living and there aren't really any details I can give regarding an employer other than myself...

I can't speak from first hand experience, because I used newbie friendly provider referrals to get verified. (If you can do it that way, great, BTW.) But P411's help line has been very responsive on other issues, and posts here have attested to their willingness to work through unusual employment situations.
My problem was I don't have an employer. Since p411 has an 800# (unlike DC) I spoke with a nice lady there who offered alternatives. I faxed her some info and was cleared. Then I saw "newbie friendly" providers from P411 who OK'd me and I was in like Flynn.
I also got into p411 by other means, I called and explained my situation and the lady stayed on the line with me until I had sent everything she needed and she verified it was enough and told me I was good to go. She even let me hold off on sending any money info until she had already verified me.
