  • Search Descriptions:

    Social Security Number Trace/ID Verification
    Identity verification is a good initial query in any background investigation. It helps to assure that your applicants are presenting their true identity. The SS# Trace verifies the number, issue date, state of issue if the number is terminated, deceased or was never issued along with current and former reported addresses. Using chronological information from consumer reporting agencies other national databases, the query also displays other names and aliases associated with the SSN. Lastly, using information from the Social Security Administration, the report also verifies if a death benefit has been paid on the SSN. Three (3) sources available.  Note: The SS check is not an official review of governmental records, most of the information returned is the result of data collected by private firms including major credit bureaus.

    Major Metro County Criminal
    The metro-county search is a comprehensive inquiry searching applicant's county of residence and the surrounding counties.

MA (CORI), MI, IN, FL, and TX state databases are unreliable, limited in scope or updated annually and only should be a secondary search.
