The Identity Fraud Protection Advantage

Identity theft and synthetic identity fraud are epidemic in modern hiring, with candidates using false SSNs, borrowed identities, and fabricated personal information to conceal criminal histories or work authorization issues. SSN verification immediately flags fraudulent identities before expensive screening investments.

People use different names throughout their lives—maiden names, married names, nicknames, professional names, and sometimes deliberately deceptive aliases. SSN verification reveals all name variations associated with the Social Security Number, ensuring comprehensive criminal and background screening coverage.

Seven years of address history provides the geographic intelligence needed for effective criminal background screening. This residence mapping identifies which counties, states, and jurisdictions require criminal searches while eliminating unnecessary screening in irrelevant locations.

Reading Identity Verification Results: SSN verification should return consistent address history and name variations that align with candidate-provided information. Discrepancies, missing information, or suspicious patterns warrant additional investigation before proceeding with comprehensive screening.

Database Cross-Reference Accuracy

SSN and Address Verification compares candidate information against extensive third-party databases to identify inconsistencies, verify accuracy, and flag potential identity issues. This cross-referencing ensures background screening targets the correct individual with accurate personal information.

Proper identity verification prevents the common mistake of screening the wrong person due to name confusion, identity theft, or deliberate deception. Starting with verified identity information ensures all subsequent screening efforts target the actual candidate rather than someone with a similar name.

The seven-year address history window aligns with standard background screening timeframes while providing sufficient geographic intelligence for comprehensive criminal coverage. This timeframe captures recent residence patterns without extending into irrelevant historical locations.

Bottom Line: SSN and Address Verification provides essential identity confirmation and geographic intelligence that guides effective background screening. Foundation verification that prevents identity fraud while mapping the residence history needed for comprehensive criminal coverage.
