Welcome to the board,
It helps if you invest in a P411 account. They verify your information and employer and most providers will accept that as a reference along with a Linked In account or a photo with a handwritten date. Be kind, and realize the risk they must account for a stranger not "seen" before. If you have other websites that you used in the past and you can pull references from there, that might help as well.
Good luck.
