# Ad-hoc Liens & Dockets for Individuals Without an SSN

> Jun 30, 2026

You can now run lien and docket (litigation/bankruptcy) searches on an individual by name even when you don't have their SSN, using dedicated ad-hoc search paths. 

This is useful for screening officers, guarantors, or counterparties where only a name and location are available.

See [Consumer Checks: Basics](https://docs.baselayer.com/docs/consumer-checks-basics.md) for how personal lien and docket searches work.
