Identity Finder will locate Dates of Birth without requiring you to provide any personal information. It uses the AnyFind proprietary technology to find numeric Dates of Birth in multiple formats. If you want to search for only a specific Date of Birth or want to find the written out version (i.e., January 1, 1970 as opposed to 01/01/1970), you should disable AnyFind and add your Date of Birth and use Unique Searching Using Your Personal Information to find your Date of Birth in a variety of additional formats. Dates of Birth are commonly used as a way to authenticate you over the phone as companies typically ask you to confirm you are who you say by stating your Date of Birth, so searching for this Identity Match Type is of high importance.
If you are using the Startup Wizard, you can choose to add specific, unique Dates of Birth to the search.
If you are not using the Startup Wizard, you can also Add a Date of Birth to the Unique Identity Include List via the "Include List" page of the "Identity Finder Personal Information File" dialog box (you can open this dialog box by pushing the Add/Remove Information button on the What to Search for ribbon).
You can enable or disable AnyFind searching for Dates of Birth by clicking the "Date of Birth" button on the What to Search For ribbon. When the button has an orange highlight, it is enabled and Identity Finder will use AnyFind searching. You can also Add a Date of Birth to the Unique Identity Include List via the "Include List" page of the "Identity Finder Personal Information File" dialog box (you can open this dialog box by pushing the Add/Remove Information button on the What to Search for ribbon). Within that dialog box, when Date of Birth is selected in the "Identity Type" drop down box, you can check or uncheck the "Enable Automatic Search for Dates of Birth" to change your AnyFind settings. The ribbon button will update automatically to reflect any changes you make here.
Note: When entering a unique Date of Birth, it must be entered as mm/dd/yyyy with no other characters or spaces. For example "03/12/1972" (without the quotes) is valid. However "03-12-1972" (without the quotes) is invalid because it contains dashes.
