Bring your whole roster in
in minutes.
Already have your volunteers in a spreadsheet? Upload it. VolunteerBadge matches your columns automatically, shows you a preview before anything saves, skips anyone already on file, and imports the rest — no manual data entry, no re-typing hundreds of names.

From spreadsheet to screened roster
The importer lives in your dashboard under Volunteers → Import Roster. It reads standard CSV and Excel files, so whatever you export from your current system usually drops right in.
Start from the template
Download our CSV template — or use the spreadsheet you already have. Columns are matched by name in any order.
Upload your file
Drag and drop a .csv or .xlsx (up to 2,000 rows). We parse it instantly — no account juggling, no manual data entry.
Review, then confirm
See a row-by-row preview before anything saves — who’s ready, what mapped, any issues. Click Import and you’re done.
Import how it actually fits your situation
Choose one of three modes at import time, so your roster arrives with the right compliance status — whether you’re migrating cleared volunteers or just building a contact list to invite later.
Already cleared
Migrating from another provider and you already hold signed FCRA authorization? Mark them active on arrival. Include each person’s last check date and they’ll auto-rescreen when it ages out.
Hold authorization — screen now
You have signed authorization on file and want to run their $5 checks. They come in ready to screen, so you can kick off background checks right away.
Contact info only
Just building your roster for now? Import names and emails with no authorization needed — importing contact info isn’t a background check. They arrive as “Pending,” and become screenable the moment they’re invited to apply and sign.
Importing contact information is not a background check and isn’t a consumer report — so you never need signed authorization just to build your roster. Authorization is only required to actually screen someone, and contact-only volunteers are automatically blocked from screening until they apply and sign the FCRA disclosure.
Your columns, matched for you
Headers are matched by name — case, spacing, and order don’t matter — so you rarely have to reshape your file. Anything we recognize maps automatically; anything we don’t is listed back to you as ignored, never guessed.
- First & last name
- Middle name
- Phone
- Date of birth
- SSN (encrypted)
- Address, city, state, ZIP
- Employer
- Notes
- Last check date
Safe to re-run — no duplicates
We de-duplicate by email against your existing roster and within the file itself, so anyone already on file is skipped automatically. Re-upload an updated list anytime; only genuinely new people are added.
A preview before anything saves
Every row is validated up front. You see how many are ready, how many have issues (and why), and exactly which columns mapped — before a single record is created.
Moving from Sterling, Checkr, or a diocese system?
Export your roster from your current provider and import it here — including each volunteer’s last check date. Cleared volunteers arrive active, and VolunteerBadge automatically schedules their next re-screen based on that date and your interval, so nobody slips through the cracks during the switch. It’s a clean, same-day hand-off from $25–$80 checks to a flat $5.
Or just drop it into Victor.
Switching from Sterling or a diocese database? Have an Excel file that’s lived on your desktop for years? You don’t even need a tidy spreadsheet. Drag your file — Excel, CSV, or a Word document — right onto the chat with Victor, our AI assistant. He reads it, pulls out every volunteer, and builds your roster for you.
- Any format — Excel, CSV, Word, or a plain text list
- No cleanup, no column-matching, no manual data entry
- Every file is virus-scanned, and Victor tells you exactly who he added
Your roster, imported and ready to screen — today.
Free to import. $5 per background check whenever you’re ready to screen.
