Identity Finder will locate Mother's Maiden Names if you provide specific personal information. It uses Unique Searching Using Your Personal Information to find your Mother's Maiden Names in a variety of formats. Mother's Maiden Names 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 Mother's Maiden Name, so searching for this Identity Match Type is of high importance.
Identity Finder will not search for Mother's Maiden Names until you provide specific personal information.
If you are using the Startup Wizard, you can choose to add specific, unique Mother's Maiden Names to the search.
If you are not using the Startup Wizard, you can also Add a Mother's Maiden Name 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).
Note: When entering a unique Mother's Maiden Name, it must be entered as no more than 50 letters, dashes or spaces but without any other characters. For example "Smith-Jones" (without the quotes) is valid. However "Smith/Jones" (without the quotes) is invalid because it contains a slash (/).
