How to Find Someone's Address: 5 Ways That Work

The quickest way to find someone's address is a people search: enter their name, phone number or email and the report lists their current and past addresses. You can't type an address into Deepscanner. The address comes out of a report on the person. Free methods like property records work when they own their home.

• Fastest: a people search from a phone number, email or full name, about 2 minutes
• Free options: county property records, voter and court records, mutual contacts, old mail
• Best starting point: a phone number, since it ties to one person
• Private: the person is never notified
• Nothing found: money back, request within 30 days

How do I find out someone's address?

Pick the method that matches what you already know about them.

How to find out where someone lives?

Enter a phone number, email or full name in a people search. The preview for a phone number shows the carrier, line type and city in about 60 seconds, and the full report shows:

• Current address: and the dates it has been linked to the person
• Past addresses: they help confirm you have the right person
• Other contacts: phone numbers and email addresses
• Photos and social profiles: so you can check the face before you send anything

Start from a phone number: the address comes from the report, not from an address search box.

How to find someone's address for free?

1. County property records. Every US county publishes an assessor or recorder search. Enter the last name and you get the owner's property address. It only works for owners, not renters.
2. Voter registration. Some states publish voter lookups with an address; others need a request. Check your state's Secretary of State site.
3. Court records. Civil and small-claims filings list a party's address. State court portals and PACER (federal, small fees) are searchable by name.
4. Ask someone you both know. Say why you need it. People hand over an address for a returned item or an invitation.
5. Check what you already have. Old envelopes, invoices, delivery notes and shared invites often carry an address.

Free sources are slow and patchy: renters, recent movers and people in states with closed records don't show up. That is the gap a people search fills.

How to find someone's current address?

Use the newest source you have. A phone number or email in use today usually leads to the most recent address, and the report shows the dates each address was linked to the person. If you only have an old address, look for a current phone number or email first (a name plus city works too), then run that.

How to find someone's address by name?

Enter their full name and a city or age. Common names return several matches, so use the photo, age and past addresses in the report to pick the right one. A name alone is the weakest starting point; add a phone number or email if you have one.

Who lives at this address?

Deepscanner can't search by address. To find out who lives at an address, you need a name, phone number or email for someone in the household: a name on a mailbox or delivery label, a listing, or a number tied to the home. Search that and the report's current-address field shows whether the person is at that address, plus who else is listed under relatives and associates.

While it searches, Deepscanner shows which record types it is checking.

Is it legal to find someone's address?

Yes, for personal reasons like reconnecting or checking a seller. It is not legal to use a people search report for employment, housing, credit or insurance decisions under the FCRA.

• Match first: check age, photo and past addresses against the person you mean.
• Safety: don't turn up unannounced if there is a safety issue on either side. Send mail or go through a mutual contact.
