Social Security Trace

The Social Security Trace is a search of national credit bureau "header files," using the subject's social security number. 

A header file is the top section of the credit bureau file, containing name and address information and sometimes employment information but no information about creditworthiness. The header file was until recently considered public information;

The Social Security Trace will nearly always provide the subject's current and past addresses, age, and indicate whether the subject has used more than one social security number in the past (a possible indication of fraudulent intent). Sometimes it will also provide his spouse's name.

When available, this is probably the single most effective search available for locating missing persons. 

But what if you don't know your subject's social security number? Then you can run what's called a National Identifier. This search also uses credit bureau headers, but instead of searching on the basis of the subject's SSN, it uses his name and last known address. The National Identifier provides the same basic information as the Social Security Trace (including present and past SSN's), but the "hit rate" is somewhat lower.

Note that, if the person has died, this fact will normally show up in the header files, since all the major credit bureaus subscribe to the Social Security Administration's National Death Claims Index.
