Search for Hard to Find People Like a Professional Private Investigator

Have you ever wondered what a private investigator does and how they can help you? A private investigator is a professional who specializes in finding information, evidence, and people for various purposes. Whether you need to locate a missing person, conduct a background check, verify a claim, or solve a mystery, a private investigator can assist you with their skills and resources.

However, finding someone like a private investigator is not as easy as it sounds. In this article, I will share with you the steps and methods to find someone like a private investigator, as well as some tips and advice on how to work with them effectively and ethically.

Searching Online Databases and Directories

One of the easiest ways to find someone like a private investigator is to search online databases and directories that list licensed and reputable private investigators in your area or the area of interest. Some of the most popular and reliable free online sources will be shown in this article.

"Just put your name into the search field and see the results," she said. "Okay, what is the website?" "FastPeopleSearch.com," she said. "Okay, fine," he said. He was shocked to see his address, his spouse’s name, his mom’s name, his cell phone, his past addresses, and his email. The amount of his personal information easily available on the website blew his mind.

Salt Lake Investigations is revealing for the first time insider secrets in the private investigator world. These websites provide access to a significant amount of personal information for free, without requiring any sign-up or email address. This article is the first in a series of articles providing resources that have significant value. Simply type in your own name, and you will be surprised by the results.

While I have mixed feelings about the availability of personal information online so easily, these resources are out there. You should know they exist because your physical address and lists of family members are likely available for unwanted viewers in a matter of a few clicks. No credit card is required. No email is required. No account setup.

So read through this series and check for your own personal information on these sites. Later, in this series, we will teach you how to remove your personal information. If you are interested in protecting your own personal details from unwanted searches, check out Salt Lake Investigations’ free online personal security audit to see what information is out there on you and what you can do about it.

Private Investigator Databases

Access to accurate and comprehensive information is crucial for private investigators to conduct successful investigations for legitimate purposes. Private investigators have specialized databases (not available to the public) at their disposal. Here are some of our favorites: Delvepoint, TLO, IRB, and IDI. Would you like to access these sites? Well, you have to be a licensed PI and go through regulatory checks.

What about databases for everyday citizens? They do exist, they are free, and these sites are not that well known. Let us know if you are already using them! At Salt Lake Investigations, we believe in giving value to others. And while these free databases may not be as accurate, up-to-date, or as extensive as the ones used by private investigators, they still provide valuable insights. The best part? They are no cost and even Salt Lake Investigations uses them from time to time. So enough of this, let's get to it:

Database searches for the regular citizen:
