Employers often need to verify social security numbers for tax purposes. As an individual you may find the need to perform a social security search aside from work. Unfortunately, public databases do no list social security numbers due to identity fraud, and misuse of this sensitive information. However, if the social security number you are searching for belongs to a deceased person you can get his or her social security number for free by simply looking up their name. Below I’ve listed what I believe to be the best free source for conducting a social security search.

Social Security Online: Social Security Online is a free service provided by the United States Government. This is your one stop powerhouse for all your social security needs. This is a great place to start a SSN search.
