I need to find an address

An expedient method to find a person's address is to submit a search to a powerful nation-wide address lookup service. You don't even need to know the state, the search includes all 50 states. If the person has a unique name, the report will locate the person without many other non-relevant addresses.  If the person has a very common name, you may receive too many results and the topics below will help you narrow down your search. You can focus your search by including a middle initial, birth date, city, age or range of ages, SSN, etc. Conversely, if you cannot find anyone, then the topics below will help you understand other search techniques. You can broaden your search by using a partial first name or no first name, a broad age range or no age, by not specifying a city or state to search the US,  by providing alias names, etc

How can I find so many people quickly and without spending a lot of money? The issue here is low cost and a very effective search tool.

Find a person using a social security number SSN

If you happen to know the person's social security number, the search is easy. You will be able to get a history showing the current as previous addresses, date of birth, phone numbers, and more. 

Find a person using a birth date

If you know the person's date of birth, a search is very accurate and will report the person you need to find. Because there maybe other people of the same name and birthdate, you may receive multiple records; however, these can be validated by calling by phone or by mailing a letter

How do I find a person who has moved?

If you have the last address  you can search an address history record to get the latest address.

Who are the occupants of the address?

If you have located the last or previous address but the person has moved and left no forwarding address, you can search for a list of occupants. You can then contact them by phone or mail

Who is the owner of the last address

If you have a new or old address of the person, you can find out the owner's name and phone number by searching for a property record!

What if the person is dead?

If the person you need to find is deceased, a phone directory search will not likely find the person. You will need to perform a death record search. The report usually provides the date and place of birth as well as the birth date. If the death record search does not provide any results, the reasons may be for any of the following:

• Death not reported to the Social Security Administration (SSA).

• Been dead less than 2 months - the Social Security Administration requires time to collect and process death notices

• Death occurred prior to 1962

• Person did not participate in the Social Security program.

• Recent death not reported

• Moved out of the country

• Not be dead

If you have an old number, you can reverse search the phone directory. Most free reverse phone directories do not keep old numbers so you may have to use a finder service that provides a 20 year address and phone history

Try a property record search

You can search for all properties owned by the person. The results provide the owner's name, address, and usually phone number

The person may be in jail or prison

Try a prison record search. If a record is found, contact the prison administration. Also search for criminal records

The person may be in the military

Try a military record search. If a record is found, contact the appropriate branch of military service

If you have a social security number, you may request a social security number report that may provide the year and place it was issued, whether the number is valid, and an address history report. See the following topic on identity theft.

How do I protect myself from credit card fraud and identity theft?. 

The best way of finding out if someone else is using your identity is to request a SSN search that provides the names of all people using your SSN (hopefully it is just you) and the current and previous addresses, date of birth, age, phone numbers, etc. You can also request a background report on yourself.
