# Retrieve a person's unmasked SSN

`GET` `/v2/persons/{personId}/ssn`

Operation ID: `getPersonSsnV2`

Returns the full, unmasked Social Security Number for the specified person. The SSN is masked everywhere else in the API and returned in full only by this endpoint. Every access is recorded in a durable audit log. Returns 404 if the person does not exist, is not visible to the authenticated customer, or has no SSN on record. A 403 is returned only when the caller's token lacks the required scope; cross-customer access returns 404, not 403.

## Path parameters

- `personId` (string, uuid, required) - ID of the person

## Responses

- `200` - SSN retrieved successfully.
- `400` - One or more request fields failed validation
- `401` - No valid bearer token was presented
- `403` - The token does not carry the required scope
- `404` - The requested resource does not exist or is not visible to the caller
- `429` - Rate limit exceeded. The caller has exceeded the maximum number of requests allowed per rate-limit window for the authenticated credential. NOTE: The response body for this status deviates from the standard V2 error shape ({message, details, code}). The body contains only a top-level "message" string. Clients should treat the Retry-After header as the authoritative retry signal and must not parse the message string.
- `500` - An unexpected server error occurred
