Why people search with PersonTracer
Real situations PersonTracer is built to help with — often for a fraction of what a traditional investigator would charge.
Reconnect With Someone You've Lost Touch With
Find a current address, phone number, or other contact info for a family member, old friend, or biological relative you're trying to reunite with.
Get a Current Address to Serve Legal Papers
Custody cases, civil suits, and evictions all need a real, up-to-date address before service can happen. That's exactly the kind of address search we're built for.
Verify Who You're Really Dealing With
Before you trust someone with your money, your kids, or your heart — a new landlord, a business contact, or a suspicion about a partner — run a confidential check first.
Everything one search covers
One search checks dozens of sources so you don't have to dig through them one by one.
Identity & Current Address
Name, aliases, current and past addresses, phone numbers and emails linked to your search.
Public & Court Records
Court filings, marriage & divorce records, judgments, and more.
Social Media
Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok and X profile matches.
Relationship History
Dating profiles and social activity that can help you verify someone before you trust them.

Frequently asked questions
Will they know I searched for them?+
No. Searches are completely confidential. The person you search is never notified, and nothing is posted or shared on any platform.
What if the search doesn't turn up anything?+
Then you've ruled something out — which is useful on its own, whether you're chasing down a lead, confirming an address before you act on it, or just looking for peace of mind. Most people run a search for clarity, not because they're certain what they'll find.
What does a PersonTracer report actually show me?+
Your report summarizes the identity linked to a phone number or email — name, aliases, current and past addresses, other emails and phone numbers on file — plus social media matches, dating app activity, and relevant public and court records, all organized in one confidential online report.
Can this help me find a missing family member or reconnect with someone?+
Yes — that's one of the most common reasons people run a search: a current address or contact info for a relative, birth parent, adoptee, or old friend you've lost touch with. If you believe someone is missing under circumstances that could involve danger to their safety, please contact local law enforcement or NamUs (the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, namus.gov) first — PersonTracer is a public-records search tool, not a substitute for an active law-enforcement investigation, and it isn't intended to locate someone who has intentionally gone into hiding for their own safety, such as a survivor of domestic violence.
Can I use this to get an address for process serving?+
Yes. Many customers use a PersonTracer search to locate a current, accurate address so an attorney or process server can complete legal service — for a fraction of what a traditional skip-trace investigation costs. PersonTracer doesn't serve documents itself, so check your state or court's rules on who's authorized to serve papers in your case.
What does "Private Investigator Verified" actually mean?+
On our Expanded and Comprehensive tiers, a real, licensed private investigator personally reviews and confirms every match in your report by hand before you see it — not just an automated result. Standard reports are automated only.
I only have their email or phone number — is that enough?+
Yes. A phone number or email address is all you need to start. If you also know their name, adding it can help narrow the results, but it's optional.
How much does it cost?+
Starting a search is free. If we find results, you can unlock the full confidential report for a one-time payment starting at $79 — no subscription, and no retainer required.
How long does a search take?+
Most searches finish in just a few minutes. You'll see a live progress screen while we check each source.
Is this legal to use?+
PersonTracer is intended for lawful purposes only — for example, reconnecting with someone, locating an address for legal process service, verifying someone in your life, or reviewing publicly available information about yourself. It may never be used to stalk, harass, or locate someone against their will. PersonTracer is also not a consumer reporting agency, and reports can't be used for employment, credit, tenant screening, or insurance decisions under FCRA (a federal consumer-protection law).
You don't have to figure this out by yourself.
It takes less than a minute to run a confidential search — all you need is a phone number or email address.
