People search · US records

Look up a person by name

Reconnect with an old friend, find a relative's current contact details, or check that someone you met online is who they say they are. Enter a name and continue to BeenVerified to see the public records available.

  • Search by name, narrow down by city and state
  • Nothing you type here is stored on this site
  • Upfront about cost: full reports on BeenVerified are paid

How it works

  1. Enter a name

    First and last name are enough; city and state help narrow down common names.

  2. Continue to BeenVerified

    It checks public and commercially available records for people with that name.

  3. Pick the right person

    Use age and location to find the match. Full reports need a BeenVerified plan — check the price before you pay.

What you may find

  • Current and past addresses
  • Phone numbers and email addresses
  • Possible relatives and associates
  • Public records such as property and court records, where available

Records vary by person and state. Tip: try a maiden name or a common nickname if the first search doesn't find the right match.

Use it the right way

  • Fine: reconnecting with friends and family, finding someone's current contact details, checking that an online contact is real.
  • Not allowed: decisions about hiring, renting out a home, credit or insurance. These are regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
  • Never: stalking, harassing or intimidating anyone. If you feel unsafe, contact local law enforcement.

Questions

Is it legal to look someone up?

Yes. Searching publicly available records for personal reasons is legal in the US. Using the results for hiring, tenant screening, credit or insurance decisions is not allowed under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Does it cost anything?

Searching on this page costs nothing. Detailed reports on BeenVerified require a paid plan; it may offer a low-cost trial that renews as a subscription unless you cancel. Read the terms on its checkout page before you pay.

Will the person know I searched for them?

People search services generally don't notify the person you look up. Check BeenVerified's FAQ for its exact policy.

Can I remove my own information?

Yes. Most people search sites, including BeenVerified, have an opt-out page where you can request removal of your record.
