Individuals will sometimes do a reverse address search for the purpose of discovering who is at a particular address and how to contact them. This may be due to any number of reasons including tracing a piece of unknown mail where you only have the return address and no name. Other times you may be trying to find the name of a business via their address for the purpose of forwarding information to them.
Doing a reverse address search is easier than doing other types of searches. With the address in hand, you know exactly where a certain place is and the rest of the information will be easy to find. Usually, these searches are very successful and will end with your knowing the person’s name and typically their phone number too.

One method of searching via reverse address is to use any free white pages search engine. All you have to do is type in the address and press search, and your results will be shown momentarily. You will almost always have the person’s name and phone number.

Another free option is to go to your local post office (this is only useful if you are sending mail) and give them the address on your envelope, and ask them to be the one’s to write in the person’s name and still maintain that person’s confidentiality.

There are also free websites available, which provides similar services, but you should be cautious of any hidden charges which may suddenly pop up before you receive your results. If in the end the free searches do not reveal any good results, your only option may be to request a pay service which will give you all of the information you need. Make sure you verify the current fees before you proceed.

A reverse search is one where you input the information you have in order to find out more about an individual. For example, you might have an address but need the name, phone number or email address of the person who lives there. In this case, a reverse address search and verification can be the perfect solution. There are free resources on the Internet that will allow you to perform a reverse address search quickly and easily.  Yahoo White Pages and Anywho are two examples of sites that offer free searches. It is important to understand that if a person has an unlisted telephone number, you may not be able to find it using a reverse address search.

In that case, you will need to conduct a paid search or hire a pro to help you. Web sites like Akiba, Intelius and Best People Search are good examples of sites which offer this service for a fee. Costs usually range between $25 to $100 depending on how in depth your search is. If you are uncomfortable using sites like these or don’t get the information you need, you just might have to hire an investigator if you are determined to track down the info.

Private investigators are going to charge anywhere from $50 to $100 per hour for their services. They may also charge you for other expenses like travel fees if applicable. Of course, different professionals offer different rates. To find the investigators available in your local area, simply check your Yellow Pages and start calling around for information. You may be able to find one who offers the service you need at a price you can afford.

Before you perform a free or paid search, or hire a private investigator, you should examine your motives for needing the information in the first place. If you are searching for an ex-love, for example, you should use discretion and think for awhile before doing anything drastic like tracking down their personal information. There are certainly valid reasons for performing reverse address searches, just make sure yours is one of them.
