The U.S. All Star Federation implements the same comprehensive screening that the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee requires all National Governing Bodies to follow for members involved with minor athletes. JDP is named as a screening provider under the USPOC screening policy to fulfill its screening program.

The USASF screening program includes:

• JDP cognitive screening with non-registered data (NRD).
• JDP identity verification through the vID app.
• Social Security number validation.
• Name and address history records.
• Two independent multi-jurisdictional criminal database searches covering 50 states plus DC, Guam and Puerto Rico.
• Federal district courts search for the district(s) where the individual currently lives or has lived during the past seven years, going back the length of time records are available and reportable based on the name and address the Individual provides and the developed address history records.
• County criminal records for the county (or counties) where the individual currently lives or has lived during the past seven years, going back the length of time records are available and reportable for each county searched based on the name and address the Individual provides and the developed address history records.
• Two sex offender registry database searches of all available states, plus DC, Guam and Puerto Rico.
• Multiple national watch lists.
• Comprehensive international records search for members who have lived outside of the United States for six consecutive months in any one country, during the past seven years.
• Multiple national and state exclusion lists.

With Verified Identification (vID), JDP offers highly accurate, fraud-protected identity verification to ensure the safety of our athletes and the security of our members’ data. vID uses your phone’s camera to scan your ID and to take a real-time selfie to ensure the member applicant matches the ID.

1. Gather the necessary items
1. Credit card (for membership renewal fee payment)
2. Smart phone
3. Driver’s license or state-issued ID card. At this time, only the following state-issued identification is accepted:
1. A driver’s license from one of the 50 states, the District of Columbia (DC) and other US territories (Guam, US Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Mariana Islands and Puerto Rico).
2. A non-driver state-issued ID card. This is an identity document issued by the state, the District of Columbia (DC) or US territory that asserts identity but does not give driving privileges.
2. Go to USASF’s membership page to log in or create an account. 
3. Follow the prompts to complete/confirm your account profile, make payment and begin the background screening.
4. vID will walk you through creating an account, scanning your legal ID and taking a selfie.
5. The background check generally takes 5-7 business days to complete, but this can vary by screening. Be sure to submit your screening ASAP in case of delays, and check your email regularly in case additional information is needed.

JDP handles ALL aspects of the screening process from start to finish saving time and money and helping to protect athletes and youth sports organizations with thorough background screenings.

Screenings are initiated as follows:

• Coaches, club owners and personnel (18 years of age and above) will apply directly through their USASF membership portals by clicking START BACKGROUND CHECK on their dashboard.
• Adult athletes (athletes 18 years of age and above and those who will turn 18 on or before May 31 of the current membership term) will apply directly through their membership portals by clicking START BACKGROUND CHECK on the dashboard.
• Coach, owner and personnel screenings are covered by their USASF membership fees. All other individuals will pay JDP directly for the screening cost.
• USASF member profiles are updated automatically with green light determinations. 
• Applicants receiving green light determinations are upgraded to eligible members as long as all other membership requirements have been met.
• Applicants receiving adverse actions will be instructed to contact JDP directly or greenlight@usasf.net.
• The USASF is not permitted to share any information provided on the background screening.
• JDP utilizes USOPC/USASF decision matrix to provide red light/green light reports to USASF.

Background screenings completed by JDP will yield two possible outcomes:

COACHES, CLUB OWNERS and PERSONNEL: the cost of the JDP domestic background screening is covered by the USASF membership registration/renewal fee ($75).

ADULT ATHLETES:  The fee for each JDP domestic background screening is $18. This is in addition to the USASF membership registration/renewal fee ($49).

The purpose of the club account is so USASF member clubs with adult participants (i.e employees or volunteers with regular contact or authority over minor athletes who are NOT members of the USASF) may run background screenings on these individuals using the same parameters as that of USASF members. USASF members must complete their background screenings directly through their individual USASF member profiles.
