Social Security Verification



[back to ScreenNow]

Social Security Number Verification is achieved through a search of more than 190 million consumer records contained in the credit bureau files / credit header information. It provides instant validation that a Social Security Number is valid in a given state and time frame.

  • Our social number search warns if a Social Security number:
  • May never have been issued
  • May have been issued to a person who has been reported deceased
  • Is currently being used by other individuals (lists up to four names using the number)
  • Has been issued so recently that the number may belong to a child

As an additional feature of the Social Security Number verification, the report disclosed any addresses associated with the Social Security Number for credit application purposes. Many employers utilize this information to determine if the applicant has truthfully supplied all relevant residential address history on the employment application. Addresses revealed by the Social Security Number verification, but not the supplied by an applicant, may be used to expand a criminal record search. These undisclosed addresses may lead to a criminal conviction record the applicant has attempted to shield from a prospective employer.
