There are often still many ways to verify self employment or work at home situations. Just submit your info and let them do the work. There are biz licenses, websites, emails, etc. Also worth noting it says that if you are a long time member of a community in good standing that may also work. Such as here, TER, Date Check, etc. I'm sure if possible they will get you verified as it is their business and how they make money.

The pay to verify sites? I have never used them. The thought of them having any of my personal information is way too risky. The same for giving out my work info. No way do I want a provider calling about "insurance" or whatever bogus excuse to verify that I work someplace. For that matter if there is a disagreement I don't need the trouble in my life so the less they know about me the better.
Even the high end providers can be seen without a reference. I saw one that required a time to get to know each other, basically a drink in a bar to relax both of us.
