Locating People Using Deep Skip
Sometimes it is necessary to search on a deeper level to find your subjects. We have made that search easier with Deep Skip. Our proprietary database combines data from hundreds of sources to create the most comprehensive collection of information about people in the United States. Deep Skip's searching capabilities allow you to combine information you have to make searching for your subject faster and easier, saving you time and money.
Quick Start First, try to locate the subject using one or more of the following search techniques:
1. Search using your subject's unique Link ID number. Your initial Deep Skip Search will return your subject's unique Link ID number. You can then initiate a new search on the Link ID number for the most comprehensive, relevant results possible.
2. If you know the subject's Social Security Number (SSN) use it alone in your first search. Even though SSNs are the most reliable identifier for an individual, they are not 100 percent dependable because some records may not contain a subject's SSN. Therefore, a record for an individual may not appear when searching using SSN only. Conducting a second search using Name and State provides additional coverage.
3. Search using Last Name, First Name, and State. If too many records are returned, try adding a City or State. You can also use a partial first name. Adding criteria not already used, such as first name, middle name or initial, DOB, city, state, ZIP code, or age range, refines a search. The more criteria you provide the more precise (narrow) the results will be.
Keep in mind that some records may not contain a middle name or initial, so providing one could eliminate records you may want included.
If you are unsure of the subject's proper first name, try using a variation of the name. Our intuitive automatic nickname feature will return results matching the subject's proper first name.
If you are unsure of the spelling of a person's name, try checking the Phonetic Search box which will search for phonetic variations of the subject's name if no exact match is found.
4. Search using a Telephone Number. You may use seven digits, with or without a State.
5. Search using a Last Name, First Name, State, and full or partial Date of Birth (DOB). A DOB may be entered in several formats: mm/yyyy, mm/dd/yyyy, or yyyy alone.
For Example:
1). Month and Year: (04/1963)2). Month, Day and Year: (04/23/1963)3). Year Only: (1963)
In the event that a Subject's complete DOB is unknown, searching by mm/yyyy or yyyy format may prove helpful.
6. Search using a DOB and First Name. If more records are returned than are practical to review, refine your search by adding a City and State or Zip Code.
Searching Deeper
Deep Skip allows you to include additional information about your subject, such as a relative name or previous state of residence, or even use partial information you may have, to more accurately pinpoint where they may be currently located.
1. Search using your subject's unique Link ID number. Your initial Deep Skip will return your subject's unique Link ID number. You can then initiate a new search on the Link ID number for the most comprehensive, relevant results possible.
2. Search using your subject's name and the first name of a relative. For example, if you are looking for John Doe and you know he has a relative with the first name of Jane.
3. Search using your subject's name and include a name they may have previously used or may be currently using. For example, Jane Doe may have previously been known as Jane Smith.
4. Search using your subject's name and state of residence as well as any previous state or states (maximum of two) in which they may have resided. For example, Jane Doe in Florida and previously resided in Connecticut and Rhode Island.
5. Search using your subject's name, city and state and include the name of another city and state in which they may have lived. For example, Jane Doe in Sunrise, Florida, and Tallahassee, Florida.
6. Search using your subject's name and the last four digits of their Social Security Number. For example, Jane Doe and 1234. You may even use a partial first name.
7. Search using your subject's last name and first and middle initials. For example, J.D. Doe.
8. Search using your subject's name and partial street address. For example, Jane Doe on Main Street, Anywhere, FL.
