What is a People Search?

A people search is a quick and simple way to find information on someone by name.

Also known as a people finder or person search, a people search is an online tool that scans public records sources to compile information on an individual. Public record sources could include criminal and traffic records, social media profiles, census data, and more. Using a people search is often more efficient and effective than a simple internet browser search. It can help give you a more comprehensive view of an individual.

TruthFinder’s People Search tool compiles available public record information into an easy-to-navigate, detailed People Search Report. Learn more below about how to use our People Search tool and what you could find in a People Search Report.

What are Public Records?

Public records are any documents, information, or data that are created, collected, and maintained by government agencies or other public institutions.

Public records have also come to include information publicly available on the internet, such as social media profiles, websites, and blogs. Some common examples of public records include:

  • Birth and death records
  • Arrest and criminal records
  • Bankruptcies and liens

A public records search is an online tool that simplifies the process of finding public records by aggregating data into easy-to-read online reports. Rather than sift through various websites or file multiple public records requests, you can simply run a search through TruthFinder to find public records by name, phone number, email, or address.

Research Online Buyers and Sellers

Online used goods marketplaces are a great way to save money and protect the environment. But whether you’re selling an old couch or in the market for a used TV, it’s important to take precautions when interacting with people online. Before you give someone your address or venture into an unknown neighborhood, run a search on the potential online buyer or seller.

What Customers Are Saying About TruthFinder

Dominique M.

Thank you. This let me know how to find my ex who I have been trying to get a divorce from when he disappeared. I thought it was the end for me. All I wanted was a divorce and start my life over.

Brandie R.

We might have found my ex husband's long lost family for our son! Excited to see what the outcome will be.

Laurie H.

I was able to find a cherished Aunt from my childhood. Also found out my cousin & her daughter passed 8 years ago. It was comforting to find out what happened to each of them.
