National with Alias is a multi-faceted search that combines National search with the known aliases provided from a SSN trace. With a name, date of birth and SSN, we report the state and the approximate date of issue of the SSN. We then run the SSN through the Death Master Index. Next, we run a SSN trace to obtain a list of alias names, including maiden names. We then use this information to make a final pass through our National criminal database.
The SSN Trace provides the state and year of Social Security Number issuance, even when the number does not match the applicant information provided, and an expanded address history. When “no match” results are returned on the SSN a message that relays “no matching results were found” along with some common reasons for this error will be included on the report and the service will be flagged.
