To run a credit and background check on a Canadian resident, we usually need their:
-
Full legal name
-
Address (as it appears on their Government ID)
-
Date of birth
-
SIN number and Driver’s license number are optional.
To run a credit and background check on a US resident, we need their:
-
Full legal name
-
Address (as it appears on their Government ID)
-
Date of birth
-
Social Security Number (required).
For US citizens who recently moved to Canada, the most appropriate report would be the US report, which would show the most information. We request that you use the applicant’s address that would’ve been present on their US driver’s license and include their SSN.
