The DIY Guide: How to Find an Address Yourself
1. Use 192.com (The UK's Leading Directory)
For a quick, automated search of the Electoral Roll, we recommend using 192.com. It is the most comprehensive public database for:
- Full names and current/previous addresses.
- Other household occupants.
Our Advice: Start with a search on 192.com. If the name is common or they have moved recently, an automated search might not be enough.
2. Search Social Media
Check Facebook or LinkedIn. Sometimes a profile will list a current city or workplace.
When DIY Isn't Enough
When DIY options like 192.com or Facebook fail—usually because the person has moved recently or has a common name—our 20 years of expertise comes in.

3. Check the Electoral Roll (Edited Electoral Register)
The Electoral Roll is the "gold standard" for finding where someone lives in the UK.
- The Open Register: This is the version anyone can buy. It's what sites like 192.com use.
- The Full Register: This is held by local councils. You can often view it for free at your local library, though you cannot "search" it by name easily like a computer.
- Pro Tip: If someone has "opted out" of the Open Register, they won't appear on DIY sites. This is where our 20 years of experience comes in—we have legal access to data sources that "opted-out" individuals still appear on.
4. Search for Birth, Marriage, and Death Records
If you are looking for a lost family member, searching Findmypast.co.uk or GRO.gov.uk can tell you if they have married (and changed their name) or if they have sadly passed away. Knowing a new married name is often the "missing piece" to finding a current address.
5. Land Registry Searches
If you know the person owns a property, you can use the HM Land Registry to see who the official owner of a house is. It costs £12, but it’s a definitive way to confirm an address.
