How to Find Out Where Someone Lives (2023)

There are different scenarios when we need to search where someone lives. While it might seem confusing, especially when you only have limited information about the person, it’s possible to get the address using online resources.

This guide will walk you through how to search someone’s address step by step. Read on and learn how…

1. Search addresses with BeenVerified

BeenVerified is built specifically for digging up people’s background information based on other information like the person’s name, email address or phone number. Here’s how to search for someone’s address with the tool:

Step 1: Go to the BeenVerified website.

Step 2: Choose the type of search you want. For example, enter the person’s full name and click Search.

Step 3: You’ll accquire background reports associated with the name you entered. Each report might include the address, name, age, and more.

2. Look up address info via Social Catfish

Social Catfish is an online investigation service that has one of the most comprehensive collections of dating site profiles and background information.

It allows you to find someone’s contact information and background details using just a name. Just type the person’s name into the search bar and click Search Now to see if the address is listed on the report.

3. Run a deep search with TruthFinder

If all you know about the person is a name, email address, phone number, or just a social media username, then your best bet is to search with a dedicated reverse address lookup tool like TruthFinder.

TruthFinder is definitely the best people search tool on the market, bang for buck. It scours millions of detailed public records from across the web to find people’s background info, criminal records and online dating/social media profiles.

All you need to do is enter the name of the person you’re trying to find, and TruthFinder will search through billions of records across a range of public records databases, then present you with a report on that person.

4. Find anyone’s address with Spokeo

Spokeo is one of the best people search tools, known for its fast search speed and comprehensive results.

Searching Spokeo can bring up information Google often misses (e.g. contact information, personal details, criminal records, and more), and the tool automatically filters out irrelevant or outdated data so you won’t be overwhelmed by thousands of results which you might hit from regular searches.

Here’s how to confidentially look up someone’s address with Spokeo:

Step 1: Go to Spokeo.

Step 2: Choose the type of search you want, then enter the information you have and click SEARCH NOW.

You can look up someone by name, email, phone number, or address.

Step 3: Spokeo will compile information associated with the information you entered in one report, including the person’s current and past addresses.

5. Look up addresses using PeopleFinders

Another leading data service provider is PeopleFinders. PeopleFinders has one of the most comprehensive collections of public records. It allows you to search for someone’s address by name, email, and phone number.

What we like most about it is that, unlike most reverse lookup tools, PeopleFinders gives you a few details of the search result for free, such as the person’s age, family members, and the first few digits of his/her phone number.

Step 1: Go to PeopleFinders

Step 2: Select the type of search you want. Then type the information in the search field and click Search.

6. Use your connections

If you wish to find out the address for an old friend who has drifted apart or someone who you met online, you might want to take more old-fashioned techniques – checking with the person directly and see if they are comfortable with you knowing their address. (Besides, it’s always good to inform someone before you drop by. )

If you don’t have the person’s contact details at all, try to find your mutual friends or the person’s associates and see if they know the individual’s whereabouts.

7. Dig in with Google

Depending on how much information you have about the person whose address you’re looking for, you can sometimes get the address from Google searches.

Start by jotting down any details you know about the person, such as the person’s full name, age, college, workplace, or last known location. Then, type the information you have into the search bar and hit search to see what comes up.

If you have enough information about the person, your search should be fairly simple to accomplish. But if you failed to track down the person in Google, try Bing or any other search engine to get more results.

While you might not find a webpage that lists the address you’re looking for, you might be able to find the person’s contact information from search engines, such as their social media page where you can send a message to the person.

8. Track someone down across social media

Social media can also be a good way to find important pieces of the puzzle. Sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram generally list the city where people live and the location where people make a post. Plus, people upload pictures to social media so you might be able to recognize the person if they are present in your search results.

Just type the person’s name, phone number, email address, or potential username into the search field and see if this pulls up their profile page. If it does, try sending a message explaining why you searched for them and beginning a simple and pleasant conversation before you set up a meeting.

If you know the person’s workplace, you might want to check his/her company page on LinkedIn to see if you can find the person’s profile and reach out.

Conclusion

Finding out where someone lives online isn’t easy. Whether you decide to use a dedicated people search tool to get the address or you choose Google and social media platforms to conduct your search, it takes time and patience to get the address.
