How to Locate Someone in Another Country
- 1). List all the related details regarding the person you are searching for like first name, last name, maiden name, a previous address, neighbors' or friends' names and their details, and so on. Whatever information you have related to that person must be collected as these are main clues for finding the person even though he may be located in another country.
- 2). Search for the person's name or phone number(s) in online search engines like Google, Yahoo, or Bing. Google is a great tool to find out addresses, phone numbers, and other background information including maps of the region in the country you want to search. Furthermore, websites like anywho.com, whitepages.com, people-hunters.com, and other online whitepages can be used to find out the person's details. Find his address and phone number by just entering his first name or last name. Make use of tools like zabasearch.com, find-people-free-search.com, people.yahoo.com, and other free web-based people search engines. These give access to data available in public domains to locate people in the United States or any other country.
- 3). Use social networking websites like Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, Orkut, classmates.com, and so on to search for the person's name. If he is located in another country, you can categorize the results based on a particular region and find out some clues about the person, or maybe he is a member of such social networking websites. Just by giving the person's name, you will get thousands of results of the people with the same name, which you can sort based on the country as well as the region. If you are lucky enough you can find out the person's email ID and contact him easily. If you know the school or college where the person had his education, you can search based on that in these social networking sites.
- 4). Talk to people related to the person you are searching for to find out some clues regarding his recent movements to get some direction. There are possibilities that they might be aware of the person's movement or even his address, and speaking with them can give us many clues. Search other resources such as magazines, newspaper reports, financial records like bank statements, electric bills, and other details, which are available in public records. Such public records that are available online can help in identifying the individual's address and other details. Other public records like court records can be helpful to locate criminals. Request public records that contain the name of the subject and his current address and phone number from government organizations, which can charge you for providing details.
- 5). Post advertisements in online journals, forums, and bulletins like craigslist and other classifieds available for the particular country where the person you are searching for is living. You can also post an advertisement in the newspapers or magazines in the locality of the person you are searching for. Give the details you have regarding the person like his first name, his last name, and other personal identification marks that can be helpful for the people to locate and inform you. Furthermore, give your contact information clearly in the advertisement. Also seek the help of local police in the country or hire professional investigators to help you track down the person from another country, in case you do not have sufficient time to do this job on your own.
