Request service verification

An authorization to release information signed by the subject of the investigation is required. Please note that our office is only able to verify Peace Corps Volunteers, not Peace Corps staff members.

Hire through non-competitive eligibility

Returned Peace Corps Volunteers have special non-competitive eligibility (NCE) hiring status that can expedite the hiring process for federal agency employers. Peace Corps staff also receive this status after three years of employment.
