QUESTIONS:  Call/Text: (916) 312-3185

How to find a social security number is easy provided you have a permissible purpose. To locate a Social Security Number using an individual’s name, it is essential that the person in question is at least 21 years old and has a credit history, regardless of its quality. This search is designed to reliably yield the complete Social Security Number. As a licensed California Private Investigator, I mandate a comprehensive written justification outlining the legal grounds for requesting this information. All clients who initiate this search will undergo an interview process. The outcome of this search will solely provide the Social Security Number of the individual in question.

It will not supply addresses, telephone numbers, and dates of birth or any financial history for determining credit worthiness. Subject must be over 21 years old and have established credit.

Before You Order:

This is a restricted search and is not available to everyone. As a licensed California Private Investigator, I recognize we have a duty to protect sensitive information from release for unethical or unlawful purposes and I take that responsibility seriously. Without exception, anyone ordering this search must be interviewed by me or my compliance department. You will be required to authenticate your identity AND substantiate the purpose for your search. Supporting documentation may also be required.

Permissible purposes to find a social security number include:

  • Work in conjunction with official government business.
  • Work in connection with identity fraud.
  • Work involving a fraud investigation.
  • Work in a civil or criminal investigation, and the social security number is NECESSARY to your investigation.
  • Requested by competent court to determine whether defendant is currently in active military.
  • Required for debt collection, judgment recovery, child support and wage garnishment.
  • Required for issuance of a 1099 or other official tax document to the Internal Revenue Service.

Yes, finding someone’s Social Security Number requires a permissible purpose and an interview by a licensed investigator. I am very careful not to release sensitive, personally identifiable information to the wrong people or for the wrong reason.

Please provide the full date of birth in month, day, and year format. The date of birth should match the information in your court judgment or other official court records.
