Do I need a social security number to run a background check on a volunteer?

November 21st, 2013

No, it is not necessary, but we do recommend you use the most personally identifiable information available to start your search, like first name, middle names and last name, full date of birth and social security number. Criminal records are NOT identified by social security number, but other sources of information used in the criminal check usually do.
