Executive Summary
ORIGIN is a multidimensional inquiry that combines our MULTIJURISDICTIONAL CRIMINAL inquiry with the known aliases provided from
our SSN & ADDRESS INFORMATION inquiry. With a name, date of birth, and SSN, we report the state and the approximate date the
SSN was issued and then run the SSN through the Social Security Administration’s Death Master File. Next, we run the SSN trace to
obtain a list of alias names, including maiden names. We then use this information to make a final pass through our
MULTIJURISDICTIONAL CRIMINAL inquiry instant database on the primary name supplied and all aliases revealed in the SSN &
ADDRESS INFORMATION.
What is ORIGIN?
ORIGIN starts by taking the subject’s Social Security Number and running our SSN & ADDRESS INFORMATION inquiry:
CI’s SSN & ADDRESS INFORMATION inquiry is a powerful investigative tool that verifies the validity of an applicant's Social Security
Number, reveals various names (aliases) associated with the SSN and provides information on prior addresses and movement
patterns, including the approximate dates of residence at each address.
CI’s SSN & ADDRESS INFORMATION inquiry is appropriate for proper due diligence. It establishes an investigative starting point and
allows for a more complete background investigation by verifying applicant provided information against a third party database, thus
ensuring a thorough criminal investigation encompassing at least the last seven years of residence.
CI’s SSN & ADDRESS INFORMATION:
Validates . . .
. . . the subject’s disclosed name – criminals are experts at covering up information, including previous names used
. . . the proper spelling of the subject’s name(s)
. . . the subject’s disclosed date of birth
. . . the subject’s disclosed address
. . . the disclosed SSN is a SSN issued by the Social Security Administration
. . . the subject’s disclosed Social Security Number as being associated with the subject
Reports . . .
. . . the state in which the SSN was issued
. . . the year or approximate years the SSN was issued
. . . additional addresses related to the subject
All names, including subject’s primary name as given on their Consent Form, and any additional names (aliases) revealed in the SSN &
Address Information inquiry results are then run through our MULTIJURISDICTIONAL CRIMINAL inquiry.
No inquiry provides better instant coverage of the United States than our MULTIJURISDICTIONAL CRIMINAL inquiry. With only one
inquiry, you comb more than 345 million criminal records from US counties, Department of Corrections (DOC), Administrative Office of
the Courts (AOC), and sex offender registries covering all 50 states, Washington DC, Puerto Rico, and Guam. Included in CI’s
MULTIJURISDICTIONAL CRIMINAL inquiry is our MULTISTATE SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY inquiry which provides sex offender case
information in an easy-to-read report. The database contains sex offender data from the following nationwide sources: Bureaus of
Investigation, Departments of Law Enforcement, Departments of Corrections, Departments of Justice, Departments of Public Safety,
Sheriff's Departments, State Attorneys’ General Offices, and State Police. Data is collected from all 50 states and the District of
Columbia. Also included are national and international terrorism sources, more than 4.1 million photos and a proprietary database of
previously completed reports. Our MULTIJURISDICTIONAL CRIMINAL provides the data you want, the quality you demand and the
updates necessary to ensure you get the best possible information.
CI’s MULTIJURISDICTIONAL CRIMINAL inquiry is a powerful high-speed multijurisdictional search of state and county criminal record
databases that quickly returns offender information in a condensed, easy to comprehend format.
The addition of ORIGIN to their BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS allows CI clients to enhance their due diligence by adding another
level to their criminal record data searches. However, not all counties, states or departments of correction data are included. Thus, CI
does not recommend that clients utilize the ORIGIN inquiry as their only criminal record inquiry but rather as an enhancement to an
already established state, county and federal criminal record package.
