ChoicePoint SSN Verification and Validation

Start your screening process with the right information by validating the information provided by your candidates.

Social Security Number Validation
A Social Security number validation (SSN Validation) is included at the beginning of all of our background screening reports free of charge as a courtesy to our clients.

The SSN Validation confirms whether the SSN you enter is "valid and issued" using formulas provided by the Social Security Administration (SSA). Based on that information, a calculation is made as to what year, and in what state, a given SSN was issued.

Social Security Number Verification
Our instant Social Security number Verification (SSNV) searches are a quick and inexpensive first step in the pre-employment screening process, and serve as a vital component of your screening program.

Obtained from credit bureau files, our SSNV search provides a name and address history that can be compared to the information provided by your candidate. Since criminal history searches rely on name and address accuracy, the SSNV can uncover hidden names and addresses used by an applicant, which is why this is a critical first search.

• We offer a unique feature that automatically populates a criminal record ordering grid with name and address information gathered from your SSNV search - making it easier than ever for you to order criminal records without additional data entry.
• ChoicePoint has access to multiple credit bureaus, which provides you the flexibility to choose the right SSNV search for your needs.
