Real-Time Person Search

The Real-Time Person Search helps you locate hard-to-find individuals by linking the information you provide such as Name, Address, Date of Birth, Social Security Number, etc.  This search provides for the most up-to-date information available using real-time access to live data. The results are derived from continuously updated national databases containing more than 215 million consumers. 
The results return as many as 20 consumers associated with the search input criteria and can contain a maximum of 11 addresses per consumer.

The Real-Time Person Search can :

• Provide up-to-date consumer identifying information instantly
• Help locate hard-to-find individuals
• Provide warnings of potential fraudulent activity associated with Social Security Numbers
• Identify Aliases, maiden, and misspelled names
• Find names of consumers who have changed their identity
• Identify other consumers associated with the same Social Security Number

Conducting the Search
Locate the subject using one or more of the following search techniques:

1. If you know the subject's Social Security Number (SSN) you can use it alone in your search. Even though SSNs are the most reliable identifier for an individual, they are not 100 percent dependable because some records may not contain a subject's SSN or it may be linked to several subjects. Therefore, when searching with an SSN, you may also want to consider including the Last Name, First Name and State, if known.
   
2. Search using Last Name, First Name, and State. You can also use a partial first name. Adding criteria, such as middle name or initial, DOB, city, ZIP code, or age range, refines a search.
   If you are unsure of the subject's proper first name, try using a variation of the name. Our intuitive automatic nickname feature will return results matching the subject's proper first name.
   If you are unsure of the spelling of a person's name, try checking the Phonetic Search box which will search for phonetic variations of the subject's name if no exact match is found.
   Search using a Telephone Number. You may use seven digits, with or without a State.
3. Search using a Last Name, First Name, State, and full or partial Date of Birth (DOB). A DOB may be entered in several formats: mm/yyyy, mm/dd/yyyy, or yyyy alone.
   
   For Example:
   
   1). Month and Year: (04/1963)
   2). Month, Day and Year: (04/23/1963)
   3). Year Only: (1963)
   
   In the event that a Subject's complete DOB is unknown, searching by mm/yyyy or yyyy format may prove helpful.
   
4. Search using a DOB and First Name. If more records are returned than are practical to review, refine your search by adding a City and State or Zip Code.
   

Searching Deeper
The Additional Subject Information section provides advanced search capabilities. It allows you to include additional information about your subject, such as a relative’s first name or previous state of residence. It lets you use partial information to more accurately pinpoint where a person might be currently located.

1. Search using your subject's name and the first name of a relative. For example, if you are looking for John Doe and you know he has a relative with the first name of Jane.
   
   

Note: This feature uses an individual’s five “closest” relatives. These closest relatives are determined by data (such as shared domiciles or shared assets) not by ancestral bloodlines or the degree of closeness in the familial relationship. It is important to also note that minors are not in public databases, therefore; using a minor’s information in this context provides no added value and would probably exclude matches you could want.



2. Search using your subject's name and include a name they may have previously used or may be currently using. For example, Jane Doe may have previously been known as Jane Smith.
   
   
3. Search using your subject's name and state of residence as well as any previous state or states (maximum of two) in which they may have resided. For example, Jane Doe in Florida and previously resided in Connecticut and Rhode Island.
   
   
4. Search using your subject's name, city, and state and include the name of another city and state in which they may have lived. For example, Jane Doe in Sunrise, Florida, and Tallahassee, Florida.
   
   
5. Search using your subject's name and the last four digits of their Social Security Number. For example, Jane Doe and 1234. You may even use a partial first name.
   
   
6. Search using your subject's last name and first and middle initials. For example, J.D. Doe.
   
   
7. Search using your subject's name and partial street address. For example, Jane Doe on Main Street, Anywhere, FL.
