SSN was issued and run the SSN through the Social
Security Administration’s Death Master File.
 Next, we run the SSN trace to obtain a list of alias
names, including maiden names.

through our Multijurisdictional Criminal inquiry
instant database on the primary name supplied and all
aliases revealed in the SSN & Address Information.

occur as a result
