What is the difference between the UFID translators?

There are potentially two ways to translate UFIDs:

• Translate SSN with DOB to UFID – Both the SSN and DOB must be in the UF Identity Registry for a UFID to be returned. This is where an individual can go to find out his or her UFID. This tool was not designed as a way for Identity Coordinators to see if people are or are not in the UF Identity Registry. In fact, is useless and confusing if you try to use it for that purpose. The person may be in the UF Identity Registry without a DOB entry, or without an SSN entry. Use Identity Management to search the Registry to see if someone has an entry.
• UFID Group Translator – this translator allows you to enter up to 500, and a few as one, SSNs and press a button to get the UFIDs returned. This is typically used by Human Resource Services.
