Reveal Identity History with Confidence
Identify prior names, address history, and jurisdictional insights tied
to a Social Security number over time, providing the foundation for
comprehensive background screening and accurate verification strategies.
WHY IT'S BETTER
SSN trace and address history provides the jurisdictional roadmap that focuses screening on counties where records are actually filed, eliminating wasted searches and coverage gaps that incomplete data creates.
SSN trace reveals historical addresses and name variations reported to credit bureaus over the past 30 years, identifying every location and alias that should inform comprehensive screening coverage.
Address history results help guide criminal searches, employment verification, and education checks to the correct jurisdictions, reducing missed records and improving screening completeness.
Criminal records filed in counties you don’t search remain hidden until they surface in workplace incidents, litigation discovery, or regulatory audits, transforming preventable risks into realized liability.

SSN trace reveals every address and name variation tied to a Social Security number over the past 30 years, providing the jurisdictional map your screening team needs to search the right counties. Without this foundational step, your background checks miss the locations where criminal records are actually filed. GCheck’s trace transforms incomplete identity data into comprehensive screening strategy.
No, SSN trace provides identity history context such as addresses and name variations but does not prove the candidate owns the SSN or authorize its use. Identity verification requires additional controls including document review and consent. SSN trace is the foundation that makes other verification steps more effective by revealing the complete identity picture.
Criminal records are filed in the counties where offenses occurred, not where candidates currently live, making address history essential for determining which jurisdictions to search. Missing even one relevant county leaves records undiscovered until they surface in workplace incidents or litigation. GCheck’s comprehensive address tracking ensures your screening covers every location that matters.
Yes, FCRA requires written authorization before obtaining any consumer report or using SSN-based screening tools, making documented consent legally mandatory, not optional. Screening without proper authorization creates liability that surfaces during audits or candidate disputes. GCheck’s consent management ensures every SSN trace is backed by compliant, defensible authorization.
Most SSN trace results return within minutes, enabling your team to immediately move forward with jurisdictional criminal searches and other screening components. Rapid turnaround eliminates the identity verification bottleneck that slows hiring pipelines. GCheck’s processing speed ensures SSN trace never becomes the delay in your time-to-hire metrics.
Yes, SSN trace provides the foundational address history that guides county criminal searches, employment verification, and education checks to the correct jurisdictions.
