    This page contains many free resources for tracking a person down, such as checking addresses, reversing phone numbers and doing reverse address lookups. I try to keep these resources updated as often as possible. If you find anything that’s out of date on this page or maybe a form that doesn’t work, please scroll to the bottom of this page and tell us about it in the comments section.


    United States Post Office Who better to count on than the post office guys themselves? Using the following form, you can enter in an address, city and state and it’ll give you the CORRECT address and zip-plus-four code. Visit their web page for other options, such as finding out where a Zip code is located.

    Address, Apartment/Floor

    City, State

    Zip Code

    If USPS is down, try using Semaphore’s utility instead.


    Exchange Locators:

    Enter an area code and prefix in any of the forms below to find out where they are located and what provider they’re with. Fone Finder will even tell you which cellular carrier an exchange is with. DSLreports will tell you the physical location of the phone company central office and what other exchanges are serviced by the same CO. Switchboard will give you phone listings starting with the area code and prefix that you enter.

    Fone Finder (Area Code / Prefix)

    dslreports.com (Area Code / Prefix)

    switchboard.com (Area Code / Prefix)
    Local Calling Guide

    The Directory This directory has an area code/prefix lookup. You pick any area code in the United States. Then you get a listing of every prefix in that state which tells you exactly what city the exchange is located in.


    Look up anyone’s background, assets, crimes, fraud, judgments, phone, debts, marriages, divorces, ancestry, and more.


    WhoWhere? This site has white pages, yellow pages and a very useful reverse telephone number lookup tool. Put a phone number into the form below and it’ll tell you who own it. Doesn’t usually work for unlisted phone numbers, though.



    Obtaining Information Yourself:

    Here are a few articles from phonelosers.org on various topics that might interest someone looking for information.

    Identifying an Unlisted Phone Number If the searches on this page don’t help you, here are a few tips on figuring out for yourself who a phone number belongs to.

    Recording Telephone Calls How to record your telephone calls. Also shows you how to detect phone taps on your own line.


    Cell Phone Numbers Search - reverses or locates cell phone numbers for you


    Other Good Search Sites:

    National Address Server This works kind of like the U.S. Post Office, but besides validating your address it will also print out an address label with a bar code on it.

    Apartment Lookup Service You can get a listing of all the apartments in a given area by typing a city and state into this form. Great if you want to quiz the apartment manager about a tenant’s unlisted telephone number.

    Bigfoot.com A large directory of e-mail and people directory services.

    U.K. Yellow Pages It’s like the U.S. Yellow Pages…only in the U.K!

    Telephone Directories A listing of different telephone directories on the web from different countries.

    SwitchBoard Yellow pages, white pages, you know the drill…

    Zabasearch Put in a name, address, city or just partial information and it will return public records of names, addresses and phone numbers. There’s usually an option to order complete searches on them. But the free results are nice and sometimes include birthdays.

    United States Selective Service System Gives you the ability to verify your selective service registration, presenting you with your selective service number and registration date.

    Dex Online Another yellow and white pages directory. Lets you look up by business catagories too.

    thelist.com Looking for someone in a particular city? This list shows just about every internet provider in any given city, lets you list by areas or search for specific servers. Great for figuring out what ISP your target is on.

    InfoSpace Search Standard lookups of businesses and residences. Also does reverse lookups on phone numbers.

    Genealogy and Ancestry Resources

    familytreemaker.com The largest and most complete genealogy resource. This is software that helps you search for your ancestors.

    ancestry.com Another site for going genealogy searches.


    People Files This is a good site for getting unlisted phone information and just about any kind of public or private records.


    Useful Websites

    City:
    State:
    Zip Code:





    Reverse Genie Locate practically anyone - job applicants, potential dates, neighbors, lost relatives, even friends.

    Google I cannot stress how amazingly incredible Google is at everything. Put anything you want into the form below and Google will find something on it. You can even put in a phone number and Google will reverse lookup the number if it’s listed, sometimes even giving you previous owners of the number, as well as current.


    Discreet Reverse Phone Lookups Find cell phone records, unlisted phone number records and more.


    MapQuest Enter any address in the United States and you’ll get a map of that area with a dot showing exactly where the address is located. Let’s you pan around & zoom in on areas. This thing rules.

    Address

    State

    Here are a few other mapping programs:

    Yahoo Maps
    Google Maps
    Maps On Us


    CANADIAN SEARCHES
    CANADA

    Canada Post The Canadian Post Office web site. It offers a lot of the same address lookup features as the USPS.GOV site does, but for Canadian addresses.

    Canada 411 Directory Lookup This site will look up businesses and residences in Canada. Unfortunately it won’t do reverse lookups on phone numbers.


    Email Searches

    Email Finder The World’s top resource for finding anyones email address. Reverse searches also. Worldwide coverage.


    Private Investigators and Information Brokers

      See, I heard that there are websites where you could find the exact location of a cell phone just by typing in the number. Does anyone know of such a website?
