Fuzzy match based on names + DOB

Multi tool use
$begingroup$
I'm trying to develop an approach to match tenant applicant data to public records. We require name plus one of the following: DOB, SSN, Address, DL.
We can match fine with name + SSN, address history, DL; however, we are struggling with name + DOB. For example, we may have a lot of Joseph Smiths born on 5/6/1972 in the public record data, and when we get an applicant named Joseph Smith DOB 5/6/1972, we need to make sure we're matching him to the correct public record data.
I'm trying to develop a way to reduce the number of cases that go to manual review when we have that common name + DOB match. I'm looking to develop a confidence score for cases (and eventually, set a confidence threshold to send cases to manual review or confirm that we have a match automatically).
Any advice? Ideas? (I was thinking some sort of confidence based on the popularity of the name by year... but I'm not really sure where I'm going with that... ) Where to start?
