Verify - Identity Ssn

: Small mistakes in digits or hyphenated names are common reasons for verification failure.

You will almost always be asked for the following "knowledge-based" details:

: If your name has changed (e.g., due to marriage), you must update it with the Social Security Administration before trying to verify it elsewhere.

(preferably a REAL ID compliant version). U.S. Passport or Passport Card . State-issued ID Card . U.S. Military ID . 3. Alternative Proof of SSN

: Some systems may only ask for the last four digits, but others require all nine. Date of Birth : Used as a secondary verification layer.
