			 license; passport; government identification; certificate of birth issued by
			 the state, province, or country of birth and compare the documents to personal
			 information data provided by the individual to identify any discrepancy in the
			 information.

			 participated in the education process during the claimed period.
(e) Character and reputation determination.
			 Licensees shall complete reference checks to determine the character and
			 reputation of the individual who has applied for unescorted access
			 authorization. Unless other references are not available, reference checks may
			 not be conducted with any person who is known to be a close member of the
			 individual's family, including but not limited to the individual's spouse,
			 parents, siblings, or children, or any individual who resides in the
			 individual's permanent household. Reference checks under this division must be
			 limited to whether the individual has been and continues to be trustworthy and
			 reliable.
(A) The licensee shall also, to the
			 extent possible, obtain independent information to corroborate that provided by
			 the individual such as seeking references not supplied by the individual;
			 and
(B) If a previous employer,
			 educational institution, or any other entity with which the individual claims
			 to have been engaged fails to provide information or indicates an inability or
			 unwillingness to provide information within a time frame deemed appropriate by
			 the licensee but at the least after 10 business days of the request or if the
			 licensee is unable to reach the entity, the licensee shall document the
			 refusal, unwillingness or inability in the record of investigation; and attempt
			 to obtain the information from an alternate source.
