SSN structure and validation

A US Social Security Number (SSN) has 9 digits in the form AAA-GG-SSSS, in three parts:

SSNs have no mathematical check digit. Since 2011 the US uses “randomized issuance”, so the area no longer maps to a location. Only structural and invalid-range checks are possible; authenticity cannot be confirmed by an algorithm.

FAQ

Q1Can an SSN be checked like an ID checksum?
No. An SSN has no check digit, so authenticity cannot be verified mathematically. The tool only checks the 9-digit structure and rules out officially invalid ranges (area 000/666/900–999, group 00, serial 0000).
Q2Is the number uploaded?
No, everything runs locally in your browser and the number never leaves your device.
Q3Does passing the structure check mean it is valid?
No — it only means the number is not in an obviously invalid range, not that it exists or was issued.
