Systems and methods for securing a social security number involve pairing a traditional personal identification number, or other personal identifier, with a social security number for verification purposes. In particular, the owner of the social security number can link a PIN, or other identifier, to their social security number in a data storage system. If the owner of a social security number is required to verify their identity, the institution requiring the identity verification can request from the user and submit the person's PIN, or other personal information, to a third-party granting system (e.g., trusted entity), in order to verify that it is paired with the social security number. If the PIN matches the social security number/PIN pairing in the data storage system, the institution can be notified that the individual is verified, and/or indeed owns the social security number.
