How can I find someone online with People Search?

To conduct a search, simply scroll up to the top of the page, enter your query into the search box and click "Search Now". Spokeo supports five types of searches. You can search by name, by phone number, by email address, by social media username, and by address. Our search box automatically detects the type of search entered, and displays all available results once the search is complete.
  1. To conduct a Name search, enter a first and last name. Name searches typically provide contact information, social media profiles and general details on the person you searched.
  2. To conduct a Phone search, type in the full 10-digit phone number. Phone number searches provide ownership details, including the name of the phone's owner, the location the phone number is registered to, and carrier information.
  3. To conduct an Email search, enter the full email address. Email address searches both provide the names of the individuals that have used this email address, as well as any social media profiles registered with that email address.
  4. For Username search, you can either enter a known online "handle" or try simply removing everything following the "@" on someone's email address. Username searches have the same function as email addresses, but can uncover social media profiles that may not be registered under the same email address, but use the same online "handle."
  5. To conduct an Address search, supply the full street address including city, state and zip code. Address searches can provide ownership information, data on current tenants if not owner occupied, value estimates, and other neighborhood information.
