Does the Social Security Trace or ID Search Plus tell me if the Social Security Number provided belongs to the applicant?
No. The Social Security Trace provides a listing of people that have used the SSN and the addresses associated with it. The ID SearchPlus is a search system that matches a Social Security Number against TransUnion’s credit reporting database and provides the most current information available. Only the Social Security Administration is able to confirm whether or not the SSN belongs to your applicant.
