The term credit profile number is a very general term used to describe

all numbers that are used for credit purposes. It is not a term given to

a specific set of numbers at all.

Only a few numbers are given by the United States government and

the Internal Revenue Service.

The main profile number to be used for all employment, government

and personal tax information is your Social Security Number. This

number has become the staple of many financial institutions when it

comes to lending credit. This number was never designed to be used

for credit purposes and was mainly created to be used to attain your

Social Security Benefits.

The idea of everyone having a national ID number such as a Social

Security Number was actually quite a radical idea. This number was

never designed to be used as it is today. Today our Social Security

Numbers are used by every financial institution, and you can’t even

rent a movie without giving it up.
