How to request a RentPassport®

As an agent using HQ, you will have the ability to request to view an applicant's RentPassport. The referencing report provides live progress and status updates on an applicant's journey

Follow the steps below in order to view an applicant's information.

Please note the applicant needs to authorise your access to their data. Once they have shared their RentPassport you will be able to see this.

Step 1: Sign into your Canopy HQ

Step 2: Once signed into HQ, on your main page you will see your dashboard, you can click on the quick link "+ Request Rent Passport" or alternatively you can select the RentPassports box on your dashboard.

Step 3: On the RentPassports page you will see a button to "+ Request Rent Passport" on the top right. Once you have clicked on this button you will see a pop-up box.

Please note: If you have access to more than one branch within your HQ, you will need to select which branch you want this RentPasspor connected to. You will find this drop-down at the very top of this form.
