Renting to person living in US on Greencard

I have a tenant and his wife that are applying for my property. Typical process is running background credit and eviction reports to verify all information. I’ve used avail for this in the past and it’s all worked great. Husband is a US citizen, his wife and him just moved back to the states a few months ago and received her green card in December. What documentation is required? She doesn’t have any credit, US background information and her SSN is not going through because it’s so new. Has anyone gone through this process before?

Quote from @Kyle Scelza:

Thanks Jeff - all that information aligns for the husband more than clears requirements. Would you ask for proof of green card? Tenant received it recently and obviously government already went through the extensive process to provide?

Your Comment: "Would you ask for proof of green card?"
Only if you ask him for proof of birth certificate. 

If she has a Green Card she has proven to the US Immigration Service she will not be a burden on society and she cares enough to do things legally.  I welcome legal immigrants, they typical work harder than natural born americans and appreciate this country more.
