Summary
Description
This real-time SSN verification service for the U.S. Department of State (DOS) was implemented in December 2012. This reimbursable exchange verifies the Social Security numbers and other identifying information of passport applicants for the DOS Consular Affairs Bureau. DOS uses this information in its passport adjudication and issuance process to ensure accuracy of its record deeping system and to aid in its fraud detection efforts.
