## What is Deceased Check?  
Deceased Check enables you to submit a consumer’s identity details and receive vital status information—specifically, whether the provided Personally Identifiable Information (PII) corresponds to a deceased individual.

It supports both **real-time** and **batch processing**, leveraging Socure’s industry-leading identity resolution and the most precise deceased data available in the market.

## How it works  
- **Identity resolution–based screening**: Deceased Check evaluates submitted identity inputs against available records to determine whether an identity may be reported as deceased.
- **Flexible input support**: Common identity inputs such as name, date of birth, national ID (full or partial where permitted), and address can be used, depending on workflow configuration.
- **Contextual signals**: Results are returned with informational signals that can be used for workflow routing, review, and audit. Definitions and interpretation are available in the RiskOS™ Dashboard.
