You have reached my Social Security Number decoder, which is at That page decodes social security numbers to determine when and where they were issued. If that is what you are interested in, and have questions about it, please write to me with such questions.

Unfortunately many people are writing to me asking about something called a CPN or about how to clear up their credit report. I have no idea what a CPN is, nor do I have any involvement with credit reports. Apparently there is a website involving CPN, and that site has a link to my Social Security Number decoder. That CPN website is not mine and I do not know whose it is. If you have questions about CPN, I suggest you write to the person who put up that CPN website.
