InstantID Consumer Verification Search

The LexisNexis® InstantID® search validates and verifies identity information (name, address, phone, SSN (Social Security number), and DOB (date of birth)) across multiple databases using a powerful proprietary search and comparison process. The search also identifies potentially high-risk data. This data may include a prison address, a campground address, a disconnected phone number, or an SSN of a deceased person.
