Search records

People Search by Name, State and City

A people search finds the public records connected to one person: where they have lived, the phone numbers tied to them, their aliases and relatives, and any arrest or court records. MugshotLookup runs a people search from a first name, a last name and a state, and shows the source and date of every record.

Search records

Searches are private. The person you search is not notified.

What a people search finds

  • Known addresses, current and past
  • Phone numbers connected to the person
  • Aliases and other spellings of the name
  • Relatives and associates linked through shared addresses or records
  • Arrest and booking records, charges and dispositions
  • Court records

Each row lists its source, its jurisdiction and its date.

How to find the right person

Common names return many people. These details narrow a people search fast.

  • State and city. A city maps the search to one county.
  • Approximate age. Reports show an age or a year of birth where the records have one.
  • A known relative or a past address. Either confirms you have the right record.

If you start from something other than a name, use the reverse phone lookup, the address lookup or the email lookup.

To search mugshots by name, use the mugshot lookup with the state set, and to find out where a person is held, run an inmate search by name and state.

How the search works

  1. Enter the name and the state, and the city if you know it.

  2. Confirm that your purpose is not covered by the FCRA.

  3. Review the official sources for the jurisdiction.

  4. Create your account to open the full report.

Questions and answers

Is a people search legal?

Yes. It searches records that are already public. It may not be used to stalk or harass anyone, or for decisions covered by the FCRA.

Can I find someone with only a name?

Yes, with a state. Adding a city, an age or a relative makes it easier to pick the right person among people who share the name.

Can I remove myself from people search results?

Yes, for free. Use the opt-out page. Standard requests are handled within 72 hours.
