VerifyDeceased makes deceased consumer verification simple. Upload your records, let our engine match them against fresh nationwide death data, and act on confirmed results the same day.
We combine authoritative government records with the sources that surface a death earliest, then corroborate before anything is published.
Death registrations and registrar filings sourced from state and county vital records offices nationwide. These are the authoritative record of a death and anchor the date of death we return.
Authoritative source of recordThe Social Security Administration Death Master File, accessed through the certification program administered by NTIS for entities with a legitimate fraud prevention or claims need.
Federal file, certified accessPublished obituaries and funeral home and mortuary notices are monitored continuously nationwide. These usually appear days before a record reaches any government file.
Often the earliest signalInterment, memorial and cemetery records used to corroborate a death and to resolve identity when names are common or spelling varies.
Corroborating sourceProbate and estate administration filings confirm a death through the court record and help establish the last known residence of the decedent.
Corroborating sourceOur parent company LeadCruncher contributes nationwide property and address data. This is what lets us return a last known property and mailing address on a match, not just a date.
Enrichment layerA false positive on a living consumer is the costliest error we can make, so a single unverified signal is held rather than published.
Sources are collected on a rolling basis rather than waiting for a monthly or quarterly file drop. This is the single biggest reason our records surface faster than the industry norm.
Names are normalised for nicknames, middle initials, suffixes and common spelling variations, then resolved against date of birth and location so two different people with the same name are not merged.
A record is confirmed against supporting evidence before it enters the production database. Single unverified signals are held rather than published, because a false positive on a living consumer is the costliest error we can make.
Confirmed records are enriched with the last known property and mailing address from LeadCruncher property data, and an age at death is calculated from the confirmed dates.
Every published record carries a match confidence score so your team can set the threshold that fits your risk tolerance. New confirmed records go live every week.
A repeatable weekly cycle that keeps your records accurate and your revenue protected.
Our team gathers deceased consumer records from authoritative sources nationwide and confirms each record before it enters the database. New records are added every week, often within seven days of a person passing away.
Export the records you want to check into a CSV or Excel file. Include first name and last name at a minimum. Adding middle name, date of birth, city or state improves match accuracy. There is no limit on file size.
VerifyDeceased compares each of your records against millions of confirmed deceased records. Advanced name matching handles nicknames, middle initials and common spelling variations to reduce false positives and false negatives.
Every confirmed match returns date of birth, date of death, age at death and last known property address with a confidence score. Download the results as a file or receive them through the API.
Suppress accounts, decline applications, pause outreach or flag claims for review. You pay only for the records we confirm as deceased, so there is no cost for records we cannot verify.

Use whichever fits your workflow. Many teams use both.
Upload a file of records and download confirmed matches. Ideal for periodic portfolio cleaning, monthly audits and suppression list updates before a campaign.
Verify a single identity or a batch through our REST API during account opening, loan origination or claims processing, with a confirmed result in milliseconds.
We combine state and county vital records, the Social Security Administration Death Master File accessed through the NTIS certification program, published obituaries and funeral home notices, cemetery and interment records, and probate and estate court filings. Confirmed records are then enriched with last known property and mailing address data from our parent company LeadCruncher.
No. The Death Master File is one input, and on its own it is both incomplete and slow. Obituaries, funeral notices and vital records filings usually surface a death well before it reaches a federal file, which is why our records are typically available within a week rather than two to three months.
We corroborate a death against supporting evidence before the record is published, and we resolve identity using date of birth and location rather than name alone. Every match returns a confidence score so you can set your own threshold, and we recommend a manual review step before any irreversible action such as closing an account.
Sources are ingested continuously and new confirmed records are published every week, often within seven days of a person passing away. Most providers in this market operate on a two to three month cycle.
Batch file matching typically completes in minutes. Real time verification through the API returns a result in milliseconds, so you can screen an identity during account opening or a credit application without slowing the customer down.
You can upload CSV or Excel files. Each row should represent one person, with columns for first name, last name and any optional fields such as middle name, date of birth, city and state.
Our matching engine uses name normalization and additional identifiers such as date of birth and location to return high confidence matches. Every match includes a confidence score so your team can set the threshold that fits your risk tolerance.
