Social Security Number Verification System is an application that allows employers and third party representatives to verify the names and Social Security numbers (SSN's) of employees against Social Security records.

If you want to verify SSNs for other than wage reporting purposes you must use our Consent Based SSN Verification Service (CBSV) which you can access from our website at www.socialsecurity.gov/cbsv. If you want to verify your own SSN, you must have proof of identity and visit your local Social Security Field Office.

A new standardized Benefit Verification letter is now available when you need proof of Social Security benefits, Supplemental Security Income, or Medicare. In addition to name, date of birth, and the benefits received, the new Benefit Verification letter includes other identifiers to prevent misuse and fraud.

The Social Security Number Verification Service (SSNVS) is one of the services offered by Social Security Administration's (SSA) Business Services Online (BSO).
