How to Confirm a Social Security Number Is Real

- 2). Go to bestpeoplesearch.com if you only want to verify a single Social Security number. When you input the number, the website will also give you the person's name, address, death records (if any), and aliases (if any). The price is $40, but you can register for a free three-day trial, during which you can look up a few Social Security numbers.
