Hi Hollyjo,
If the prospective tenant is a legal US citizen and has a Social Security number (SSN), it will be needed to verify their identity and ensure the proper reports are returned to you. Without their SSN, the information available for evaluating their candidacy will be limited. Additionally, be cautious if a tenant can't locate their SSN card, as this might be a red flag. Most people know their SSN or can find it without contacting the Social Security Administration (SSA). However, if necessary, they can contact the SSA and request a new card by visiting https://www.ssa.gov/number-card.
