Are the applicant who he claims to be? This is a special report designed to determine identity variables. We will check credit records for the names and addresses of individuals using the SSN  provided the applicant. Only the most recent seven years of activity are checked.

Reports will typically show:

• If the social security number has been validly issued – only the Social Security Administration can CONFIRM the number belongs to a given name.
• Year in which the SSN was issued - red flags should fly when a 21-year-old applies for a job using a 35-year-old SSN
• If that number belongs to someone deceased
• Addresses used in the last seven years
• Aliases
• Date of Birth
• Other SSN’s used
• Other people using the same SSN
• Spouse’s name

This report can become a valuable tool in directing the criminal history search. Often applicants will fail to list all past addresses or employers, hoping you will not find the history they are attempting to hide. The name trace will often reveal cities and states the applicant would rather remain buried, along with their criminal records.
