Background Check
With a more mobile society in which you may not know a local lodge member, our Grand Lodge requires every applicant must complete a background check. This is something that you order through this service: http://www.infocheckusa.com/masons-ordering-mass.html. The report is delivered only to you. However you must be willing to review it with the Lodge investigation committee (typically three men) otherwise your application process cannot continue. Should there exist a past minor issue, it is not a disqualifying situation. All aspects of this report are private to you and the Investigation Committee (when you choose to share it with them). Please never submit a copy of the background check with your application or any other time to any Lodge member! No copy should be given to any member of the Investigation Committee.
