There are several reasons why we need to find out someone's home address.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Find an address online

1. 

   Use a phone number inquiry tool. There are several websites that allow you to enter a phone number and find an address that matches the person you are looking for. This service is provided by both Yellow Pages and White Pages directory sites.
   • When you look for other people's personal information online, you have a privacy issue. Finding someone's home address and suddenly appearing uninvited can be seen as an act of stalking or a breach of privacy.

2. 

   
   
   Search on White Pages. White Pages allows you to search for information knowing the name and city or province / state in which the person lives. By using this tool, you can also find out their phone number. Once you have their phone number, you can contact them and ask for their specific address.
   • If you're going to find someone internationally, use White Pages International or Numberway. They provide detailed information on 6 continents and more than 33 countries.
   • When searching for someone online, you may need to enter their name in a variety of ways. Try using nicknames, maiden names, and birth names.

   Use social networking sites. Social media will usually name the city in which people live. Many sites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram use GPS to post a user's location when they post a post. While social media may not be able to give you the exact address, they can still help you figure out how to get in touch with the person wondering the address. Try sites like Facebook, Reunion.com, Batchmates, Classmates.com, Pipl.com and Linkedin.
   • Many social networking sites require users to create an account and log in to view information about other members. Some sites like Facebook require you to befriend that person and be accepted by them in order to view personal information.
   • Finding others on social media may be considered cyberstalking. Cyber ​​harassment is defined as "the use of the Internet or other electronic means to harass, threaten, control or commit undesirable behavior towards others". This includes email and interaction via social networks such as Facebook; In addition, silently stalking or gathering information about a person may also be considered cyber harassment. Many cyber harassers start out with tracking their victims over the Internet, often on social media.When you search for others on social media, be careful not to commit crimes.

   Use the website to find lost friends. Some sites like Lostfriends.org are specifically designed to help people find people they have long lost contact with. You can post a message on this website or read if someone is looking for you.

5. 

   Pay someone to help you. If the free methods don't work, you can use other websites to get detailed reports about a person for a low fee. These websites include Public Libraries' Public Records, Intelius, People Finders and Instant Checkmate.
   • Use caution when using these sites. These sites claim to have access to publicly available records, however, this degree of investigation of personal information could be considered a serious breach of privacy.

Method 2 of 2: Find an address without using the network

1. 

   Use phone contacts. Start searching by using local phone book to look up names and addresses. You can find many individuals and businesses in the directory with their names and addresses. You can also use that phone number to contact people to confirm their address.
   • If you already know the name of the company that person works for, you can find the company's address or phone number. You can then contact the person during business hours to ask for their home address.

2. 

   Use alumni directory. Contact your high school and / or university to find the site, or you can purchase a directory.
   • Many schools also have online databases, message boards, social media groups, and email lists. Maybe you will be able to get in touch with people through these methods to find out information about the person you need.
   • Most alumni associations have an association president or representatives you can contact for information. They can help you find the right information for you. If you are a member of the same group / organization as that person, try contacting this group / organization to see if they have a contact list or mailbox list.

Chat with people who may still be in your home country or keep in touch with people you need regularly. They may have the person's new address or phone number to help you locate the person's whereabouts. advertisement
