The Expert Guide to UK People Searching
1. Search by Name & Age Guide
If you are searching for a common name, you need to narrow it down. We recommend using 192.com. It is the UK's leading directory and allows you to filter results by an "Age Guide." This is vital for making sure you have the right 'John Smith' before you reach out.
2. Use Previous Addresses & Co-Occupants
A successful trace is often like a puzzle. If you know who the person lived with 5 or 10 years ago, you can search for that co-occupant on the Electoral Roll. Often, the person you are looking for is still linked to them at a new address.
3. Social Media & Facebook Hacks
Don't just search for their name. Search for "Friends of Friends" or join local community groups in their last known town. Sometimes a simple "Does anyone know..." post in a local group can provide the lead you need.
4. Check the Insolvency Register
If you are looking for someone for financial reasons, check the Individual Insolvency Register. It is free to search and can provide a person's last known address and status.
When the Search Goes Cold
If the person has "opted out" of public records (The Edited Register) or moves frequently to avoid being found, DIY tools will fail. This is where our 20 years of experience makes the difference. We have access to professional-grade data that isn't available to the general public.
We don't just search—we find.
