Social Security Number Trace

---

The Social Security Number or SSN Trace verifies the candidate’s name, identifies aliases, validates the social security number and reveals residential movement patterns for further criminal background checks.  


What does this service provide?  

A Social Security Number Trace is crucial for identifying accurate and complete jurisdictional information used in criminal records searches and is normally the first search performed on an applicant.  EBI’s SSN Trace Report identifies prior residencies and addresses, revealing in detail all residential movement patterns.  In conjunction with the information obtained from the applicant, all addresses are checked for potential red flags.  Additionally, AKAs (Also Known As) are also noted which proves helpful in further identifying criminal activity of an individual who uses or has used an alias.  

The SSN Trace Report also examines the Social Security Number to ensure that it is within a valid range and identifies the state and year of issuance.  The number is also checked against the deceased records of the Social Security Administration, providing protection against SSN fraud.
