Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the Identity Report?

Identity Report can help you save time and effort manually verifying your job applicant’s identity. As a part of the ShareAble for Hires background check process, the applicant provides ShareAble with their name, address, SSN, and date of birth. The Identity Report compares the applicant’s information to information in TransUnion’s databases and reports back on whether the elements match TransUnion’s information. The Identity Report also checks fraud alerts and deceased person alerts, which can help indicate whether an applicant has been a victim of fraud. Key among these fraud alerts is a check whether the applicant’s SSN may have been used in a death benefits claim.

What does the Identity Report check?

The Identity Report checks the applicant’s entered information against information in TransUnion’s databases. This includes the applicant’s name, address, social security number, and date of birth. The ID Report also checks for any fraud alerts and deceased person alerts associated with the applicant’s entered information.

Can I run the Identity Report check on any applicant?

Identity Report can be returned for anyone who has a consumer file with TransUnion. Applicants with no or light information in TransUnion’s databases may not return an Identity Report result.

Can I deny an applicant based on the Identity Report result?

No, Identity Report cannot be used as a basis for denying an applicant and is not adverse actionable. It can only be used to determine whether to request additional proof of identity from an applicant.

What can I do with the Identity Report results if I can’t deny an applicant?

The alerts can assist you in determining whether additional investigation is appropriate into the applicant’s background. You can also request additional proof of identity from the applicant.

How much does it cost?

The Identity Report is available as part of our Background Check Plus package for $40, and also comes with a criminal report. It can also be purchased in our Background Check Pro package for $60, and comes with a criminal and credit report. The Identity Report cannot be purchased as a stand-alone report.
