Move Trust Hub
Moving
Interstate household-goods movers are primarily regulated at the federal level for interstate authority, with state rules for local moves. Start with FMCSA public systems.
FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration)
Primary source- What it is
- U.S. DOT agency that oversees commercial motor carriers, including interstate household goods movers.
- What information it provides
- Operating authority context, company identity fields, and safety-related public information for interstate carriers.
- How Trust Hub uses it
- Move Trust Hub uses FMCSA-oriented public records as the backbone for mover research and Verify DOT style workflows — not as a paid ranking feed.
- What it cannot prove
- That a move will go well, that a carrier’s local operations match every listing claim, or that records are updated the minute a status changes.

SAFER (Safety and Fitness Electronic Records)
Primary source- What it is
- FMCSA public system commonly used to look up carrier snapshots and related public company data.
- What information it provides
- Public company/carrier snapshots used for identity and fitness-related research context.
- How Trust Hub uses it
- Supporting lookup path for interstate mover identity and public safety context on Move Trust Hub research tools.
- What it cannot prove
- Real-time status of every truck, driver, or complaint; SAFER is a research aid, not a live dispatch system.

State mover licensing (where applicable)
Primary source- What it is
- Some states regulate intrastate movers separately from FMCSA interstate authority.
- What information it provides
- State-level licensing or registration context for local moves, varying by jurisdiction.
- How Trust Hub uses it
- Referenced when Move Trust Hub research notes state-level requirements; always re-check the state’s official site for the address you care about.
- What it cannot prove
- A single national “local mover license” database — state systems differ and coverage is incomplete.

Lender Trust Hub
Lending / home financing
Mortgage and consumer lending research should start with public licensing and complaint systems — not broker “preferred lender” marketing.
NMLS Consumer Access
Primary source- What it is
- Public consumer access to the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System for many mortgage-related licenses.
- What information it provides
- Company and individual license identifiers, status context, and jurisdiction information where published.
- How Trust Hub uses it
- Lender Trust Hub surfaces NMLS-oriented identifiers and research aids so you can re-check records yourself on Consumer Access.
- What it cannot prove
- Loan approval, best rate, or that a license status will remain unchanged after you apply.
Source entry last reviewed:
CFPB consumer complaint data
Primary source- What it is
- Consumer Financial Protection Bureau public complaint datasets and tools.
- What information it provides
- Complaint patterns by company/product as a risk and research signal — not a court verdict.
- How Trust Hub uses it
- Where used, as an attributed pattern signal in financing research — never as a paid ranking input.
- What it cannot prove
- That complaint volume alone proves wrongdoing, or that absence of complaints means excellence.
Source entry last reviewed:
FDIC and related banking public records
Primary source- What it is
- Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and related federal banking public information systems.
- What information it provides
- Identity and public status context for insured depository institutions where relevant to research.
- How Trust Hub uses it
- Supporting identity context on Lender Trust Hub when bank vs non-bank distinctions matter for research tools.
- What it cannot prove
- Credit decisions, product suitability, or that FDIC insurance applies to every product a company markets.

Insurance Trust Hub
Insurance
Insurance producer and agency licensing is primarily state-based. NAIC helps coordinate multi-state reference points; the state DOI is usually the authority of record.
State Departments of Insurance (DOI)
Primary source- What it is
- State regulators that license insurance producers and agencies and publish consumer tools that vary by state.
- What information it provides
- License status, lines of authority context, and consumer complaint or enforcement information depending on the state.
- How Trust Hub uses it
- Insurance Trust Hub orients research around DOI / public license context and educational tools — not policy sales.
- What it cannot prove
- That a license guarantees claim service quality, or that every state publishes equally complete open data.
Source entry last reviewed:
NAIC (National Association of Insurance Commissioners)
Primary source- What it is
- Association of state insurance regulators providing multi-state coordination and consumer-facing resources.
- What information it provides
- Reference pathways, consumer education, and links into state systems — not a single national producer license.
- How Trust Hub uses it
- As a coordinating reference for multi-state insurance research context on Insurance Trust Hub.
- What it cannot prove
- A substitute for checking the specific state’s DOI for the producer or agency you are considering.
Source entry last reviewed:
Medicare.gov and CMS educational resources
Primary source- What it is
- Federal educational and plan-finding resources for Medicare beneficiaries.
- What information it provides
- Official educational context for Medicare research (plans, rights, and government tools).
- How Trust Hub uses it
- Educational routing and research support on Insurance Trust Hub tools — not as a sales channel.
- What it cannot prove
- That a private agent recommendation is endorsed by CMS, or that plan details never change.
Source entry last reviewed:
Contractor Trust Hub
Contractors
Contractor licensing is state-based. Official board evidence depth varies by jurisdiction. Missing records do not mean a clean history.
State contractor licensing boards
Primary source- What it is
- State agencies and professional boards that license or register contractors and related trades.
- What information it provides
- License or registration status, board identity, and — where published — discipline or enforcement extracts.
- How Trust Hub uses it
- Contractor Trust Hub organizes official-board evidence with state-specific depth. It is not a marketplace.
- What it cannot prove
- Identical coverage in every state, workmanship quality, or that an absent record means no history exists.

SeniorTrustHub
Senior care
Senior care research starts with government sources. SeniorTrustHub is research infrastructure — not a placement agency or referral marketplace.
CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services)
Primary source- What it is
- Federal agency that publishes nursing-home and related provider quality and certification data.
- What information it provides
- Public facility identity and quality-measure context where CMS publishes it.
- How Trust Hub uses it
- SeniorTrustHub uses CMS and supported state regulators as research evidence. It does not place residents or sell referrals.
- What it cannot prove
- That a facility is the right choice, or that unpublished state actions do not exist.

InvestorTrustHub
Investment firms
Current InvestorTrustHub research is SEC/IARD firm evidence. It is not a broker directory, FINRA people product, or advice engine.
SEC / IARD
Primary source- What it is
- U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission investment adviser registration data via IARD / Form ADV.
- What information it provides
- Firm identity, registration classification, and filer-supplied Form ADV fields used for research.
- How Trust Hub uses it
- InvestorTrustHub organizes official firm filings so you can research before you invest. Source “Approved” is not SEC endorsement.
- What it cannot prove
- That a firm is suitable, that people/broker records are included, or that missing disclosures mean a clean history.

Attributed third-party reviews
Primary source- What it is
- Public review platforms and aggregates when a hub chooses to show reputation context.
- What information it provides
- Consumer-reported experience signals that must be attributed to a source platform.
- How Trust Hub uses it

Primary source- What it is
- Supplementary public reputation and complaint context from non-governmental organizations.

- How Trust Hub uses it
- Only as supplementary context when disclosed; never as proof of licensing.
- What it cannot prove
