How to find a person in the UK
Our person search allows you to search for people by name and/or address. Most people enter a name or partial name (e.g. surname) and a location, usually a city/town or partial postcode.
Alternatively you can search by address using the advanced search. Within the advanced search you can search by postcode and house number or postcode (or partial postcode) and street.
Search Examples (By Name And/Or Address)
- Name: Joe Bloggs, Location: York
- Name: Bloggs, Location: YO1
- Street: Hull Road, Location: YO10
- Premises: 10, Location: YO10 5NP
When trying to find an address of a person you can select ‘Exact matches only’ if you feel you already have the correct details. However, if you’re struggling to find an address for a person, then opt for broader search terms and ensure everything is spelled correctly.
The results you receive are drawn from the telephone directory, consumer data, the UK electoral roll and Companies House.
You will need to buy to use Find a Person. Credits cost £10 for 40 credits, or £30 for 100 credits, and each in-depth search costs 5 credits.
What results will you get
When you search for someone on Find a Person, all results will include name, address and postcode. Some results may also include a phone number (if it’s listed), month and year of birth and if they’re an appointed company director.
You will also be able to see where we've drawn our data from – CH for Company’s House, CD for Consumer Data, etc.
Use extra credits to access additional information, such as Land Registry information, deceased checks, the names of other current and past occupants of the address, and a list of potential linked contacts.
