FBI clearance SSN off by 1 digit

[kb1206]

Hi,

I received my FBI certificate today, however i realised after the fact that my SSN on the letter was off by 1 digit. Further investigation pointed to the fact that I had by mistake typed in the wrong digit while submitting the form. Would FBI be able to correct it if I sent them a mail or would I have to resubmit the my application to obtain another clearance certificate? It's not a big deal for me to resubmit the application, however, I am a little shook up about sending inaccurate information to the FBI, even though it was a type. Would this be a cause for concern going forward? I tried calling them, but got an automated answer asking me to send an email.

i don't get it, did they send you someone else's info?

No, it was my info. While filling out the initial form, I made a type while filling out the SSN.

Doesn't matter. If you read through the identity check page intro, it says that all it checks for is your fingerprint. It doesn't even do name check. Certainly not any SSN check neither. I know, shocking right. I've put my names in reverse order the first time. Emailed them, and was told that it was my own mistake (LOL, it was for sure). Paid for a new one, got the exact same report except for the name order.
