How it works
Three simple steps to uncover the truth
#1 International Lookup Platform
Trusted by 2.4M+ users worldwide
A buyer on the marketplace gave me a name that felt off. I looked it up before shipping and the profile didn't match at all — saved me from a scam. Every seller needs this.
Someone messaged me claiming to be from my bank. One quick lookup showed the name tied to a known scam ring. Takes 30 seconds and gives me real peace of mind.
I'm not very tech-savvy but this was incredibly simple. Got a suspicious message asking for money and my grandson helped me look up the name. Turned out to be a scammer. Couldn't believe how much it found.
Had a client ghost me after hours of consultations. Now I verify every new contact first. It's become part of my intake process and it's paid for itself many times over.
Sold online for 6 years and got burned twice. Since I started verifying buyers on TraceCheck, zero issues. The address match alone catches most of the fakes.
We handle 80+ inbound leads a month. Running them through TraceCheck before callbacks cut our wasted call time by a third. The team loves it.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know
What is a reverse name lookup?
A reverse name lookup finds everything linked to a person's name using publicly available information. Enter a full name and TraceCheck scans public records, social media profiles, and open-source intelligence to surface the person's location, contact details, social accounts, and online activity — in seconds.
How does a name lookup work?
Enter a full name into the search widget. TraceCheck scans public records, social media, and open-source intelligence from sources around the world and compiles a report of everything linked to that person. Sign in to view the full report.
Will the person know I looked them up by name?
No. Every lookup is 100% private. The person you search is never notified, and your search history is visible only to you.
Is it legal to look up someone by name?
Yes. TraceCheck only accesses and aggregates information that is already publicly available — we don't hack, track, or surveil anyone. TraceCheck is not a consumer reporting agency and cannot be used for employment, tenant, credit, or insurance decisions governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Results are meant to help you make informed personal decisions.
