How To Set Up and Use DVR's Scanning Methods

• Improving timeliness of the reports being attached to the case file
• Reducing time and paper usage

Note: Reports with headers can be found on the Service Providers Technical Specifications page

• Double check the IRIS number for accuracy. Do not enter all "0s" if the IRIS number is unknown.
• Please use the correct form for the correct service.
• Do not use a cover letter.
• Do not tamper with header (font, spacing, size, etc.)
• Make sure to use the correct abbreviated Service Provider name your company created.

Note: The abbreviation (up to 10-characters) can be found under the Service Provider tab in the Service Provider Portal.
