Question
What if a candidate does not have a Social Security Number?
Answer
There are screenings that do not require a candidate to have an SSN, such as Motor Vehicle Records and Education Verifications. However, if your candidate is a U.S.-based individual and they do not have a valid SSN, Checkr is unable to complete a criminal background check. Additionally, Checkr cannot accept an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).
