A reverse search is using an indirect method to locate an individual or organization. To be able to do a reverse search, you need to have certain kinds of information in order to track someone down.

This includes, but is not limited to:
• Name
• Address
• E-mail
• Phone number
• Cell number
• IP address
• License plate number

There are a number of methods available to search for a person or organization by using one or more of the above information. This includes both free and for fee searches. Either search is easy to do within just a few minutes of your time.

The internet has tremendous resources available for individuals or law enforcement personnel to search for people. If you have any of the aforementioned details, you can go to the free or for fee website and use their search database to find the person you are looking to find. If you only have a name, it is important to have another piece of information with it (i.e. the address or telephone number) to distinguish the individual from the many others who might be sharing his or her name.

If you are using the free search engines, these services are free but may be limited in their resources due to the engine being a public database. All public databases have voluntarily given information, and as such may be incomplete. Verify the website is free before you begin your search as some websites boast free searches but tell you after your search you must pay to receive the result.

If you use the for fee search engine, verify all fees before you begin your search. Be sure to only use certified websites to avoid scams or having your information (i.e. e-mail) spread.
