Social Security Number Traces
(Address History Search)

Any effective, reliable, and FCRA-compliant criminal background check begins with a Social Security Number Trace. This information authenticates that the social security number provided by your applicant is associated with an individual of the same name and the approximate date of issue range aligns with your applicant's birth date. The address history corresponds with the areas of the country where your applicant has lived, worked, attended school, or spent other significant time.

The Social Security Number Trace is a crucial component of criminal history research as the address history is the roadmap used to select court jurisdictions that should be researched for criminal records. Additionally, it will provide any alias names that have been associated with that number. The same courts should be checked under all relevant and/or unique alias names.
