A Social Security trace is a valuable tool for conducting a more thorough criminal background check. It can uncover alias names linked to the subject and identify additional addresses associated with them. These details help determine other jurisdictions where further criminal background checks may be necessary.

Additionally, we offer Social Security validation, which requires the use of the SSA-89 form. Unlike a trace, validation directly verifies the Social Security number against the subject but does not provide any extra contextual information. The trace, while useful for gathering broader details, does not authenticate the Social Security number to the individual as validation does.
