Identity Validations |
Making sure your applicant is who they say they are has never been more important. Our identity validation screenings take the guesswork out of matching your applicant with the records you need to make the most informed decision.
Name & Address History Search
Rather than limiting research to just those names and addresses provided within a trace report from a credit bureau, we will run an individual’s SSN against a national database that includes information provided by the credit header, as well as hundreds of other sources, such as public records, phone records, etc. The result is our Name and Address History Report that details all available names and addresses associated with the SSN. This information is then used to develop possible names and addresses not provided on the application on which additional criminal history searches can be conducted.
Social Security Number Validation
Our Social Security Number Validation runs inquiries against the Social Security Administration (SSA) format information index to determine the validity, year and state of issuance, and any irregularities that may exist. Our validation also checks the SSN against SSA's Death Master Index to ensure it is not registered to a person listed as deceased.
