What is a Reference List?

Use a Reference List to organize a set of personal and professional acquaintances who can speak on your behalf. Having references prepared before they are requested can help you to ensure that you'll have a reliable set of contacts, who have positive things to say about you when needed. Most often, a Reference List comes in handy if you are applying for a new job, a loan, or a new rental. When making your reference list, it is always a good idea to ask the listed parties in advance, both to confirm their contact details and to ensure that they feel comfortable speaking in your favor.

When to use a Reference List:

  • You need to provide personal references.
  • You need to provide professional references.
  • You want to organize the contact information of your references.

Have questions about your Reference List?

Whether you're preparing your Reference List, reviewing one someone sent you, or just want to understand it better, here's how to get help.

  • Understand what it says or review it. Use our AI legal assistant to ask questions about your Reference List, understand what it says, and spot anything that may need a closer look.
  • Ask an attorney a question. Connect with an attorney for legal information, with a written answer within one business day or a live consultation.
  • Get advice on what to do. For privileged, confidential advice about your specific circumstances and next steps, book a Legal Advice Session with an attorney.
