Can't I just find all this information myself?

You can, but it would take a lot of time and effort. To get a complete picture of someone, you'd need to search through various public records, which will mean going to different government offices and courthouses. Our people search tool does all the hard work for you and presents all the information in one easy-to-use report.

How long does a people search take?

If you're doing a people search on someone, it's likely that you don't have a lot of time to spare. Fortunately, it only takes a few minutes to thoroughly check someone's background with information.com. You'll get a comprehensive report about the person in no time.

Will the person know I've searched for them?

No. The people you look up using our people search tool won't know that you've searched for them, and we won't tell them.

Can other people find information about me?

Yes. If someone has your first and last name, they can use our people search to find information about you. We recommend searching your own records so you can see what information is public and take measures to manage your public data.

Are people searches legal?

Yes. People searches are legal in the United States. Federal laws and regulations don't prohibit citizens from searching other people's information online. However, the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) restricts how information from public records can be used.

What can't I do with the information you provide?

It is illegal to use this site to make decisions about employment, tenant screening, educational screening, or any other purpose that the FCRA prohibits.

Isn't getting a background report on someone a little…creepy?

Absolutely not. In today's day and age, it's more important than ever to know who you're dealing with. Getting a background report from doing a people search can help you stay safe and protect yourself, your finances, and your loved ones from scammers, criminals, and people who might not have your best interests at heart.
