Locate witnesses, verify parties, and build comprehensive profiles for litigation — across 190+ countries.
Start Your First SearchLitigation moves at the speed of information. A witness who cannot be located cannot be deposed. A party who cannot be served cannot be compelled. A counterparty whose identity has not been verified is a liability before any claim is filed. The faster your team can close those information gaps, the stronger your position at every stage of a case.
Global Search gives attorneys, paralegals, and legal investigators direct access to cross-referenced identity records spanning 190+ countries. A single query returns linked addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, national identity documents, employer affiliations, and associated names — pulled from independent sources and cross-referenced automatically, without manual research or third-party intermediaries.
Find current contact details and addresses for witnesses who have moved, changed phone numbers, or are avoiding contact. Cross-source linking surfaces the most recent address across multiple independent databases simultaneously.
Locate the current residential or business address of a defendant or respondent — including individuals who have relocated internationally. Establish verified address history to support affidavits of service.
Confirm that the individual named in a contract, judgment, or filing matches the records available — identity documents, date of birth, known addresses. Critical in fraud cases and contested identity disputes.
Identify vehicle registrations, property-linked addresses, and business affiliations associated with a subject. Useful in judgment enforcement, divorce proceedings, and fraudulent transfer litigation.
Build a complete identity profile on an opposing party before deposition or trial. Verify claims made in sworn statements against documentary records from independent sources.
Query by passport number, national identity card, tax number, or driver's license. Locate a subject when you have their document number but not their current contact details — common in international cases.
Traditional legal research means sending a paralegal down a chain of public records requests, database subscriptions, and manual cross-referencing — a process that can take days and still leave gaps. Global Search compresses that process into a single query. When you search a name or document number, the platform automatically links every matching record across independent source databases and presents the result as a unified dossier.
What would previously require four separate lookups — voter registration, telecom records, commercial database, and vehicle registration — arrives as a single linked profile. Address history, associated phone numbers, co-residents, and employer information are all pulled and cross-referenced in one pass. The result is a research foundation you can act on immediately, not a stack of raw data to be manually reconciled.
Cross-border litigation is where standard US legal research tools fail entirely. TLO, IRB Search, and similar products are built around US public records and stop at the border. Global Search covers 190+ countries — including comprehensive registry data from the European Union, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.

All queries made through Global Search are private by default. We do not share query data with third parties, do not sell search history, and do not alert subjects that they have been searched. Your research activity is visible only to your account and, where required, to our compliance team for lawful use verification.
Global Search is EU-registered and operates in compliance with applicable data protection frameworks. A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is available for law firms and organizations that require one for GDPR compliance purposes. See our GDPR page for details.
For firms with structured workflows, Global Search provides a REST API that integrates directly into case management platforms. Automate witness location searches when a new matter is opened, trigger address verification when a process serving attempt fails, or run batch party verification at intake. Structured JSON responses make integration straightforward. Invoice-based billing is available for firm accounts, replacing per-transaction credit card charges with monthly invoicing.
