Ask for the last four digits
The SSN endpoint uses a four-digit fragment—not a full Social Security number.
Check the combination
Name and date of birth give the lookup the context it needs.

Questions about SSN and international checks
Do you need the full SSN?
The documented SSN endpoint accepts the last four digits, alongside name and date of birth.
Does excluding DOB delete stored data?
No. Excluding a field controls what appears in the API response. Consult the applicable data-handling policy for retention details.
Can I use this for checkout and account signup?
Use a supported ecommerce integration for orders, or connect the API to your website’s account and access flow. Apply the returned result before granting restricted access.
