Skip tracing, background checks, and subject location across 190+ countries — all from a single query.
Start Your First SearchPrivate investigation work is fundamentally an information problem. Your client comes in with a name, maybe a phone number, maybe nothing but a face. Your job is to turn that fragment into a verifiable, actionable profile. Global Search is built around that exact workflow: a single query surface that pulls from records across 190+ countries and cross-references every result automatically.
Most commercial people-search tools were built for HR background checks or consumer self-lookup. They cover US records well and stop there. Global Search was designed from the ground up for professional investigators who regularly work international subjects, skip-trace across jurisdictions, and need results in minutes rather than days.
Link a subject's last known phone number or email address across multiple independent data sources — voter rolls, telecom registrations, utility records, commercial databases — to surface current contact details and addresses.
Query by full name, date of birth, national ID, or passport number. Cross-source address linking reveals where a subject has lived, worked, or registered accounts — including in other countries.
Build a comprehensive profile: identity documents, known addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, employer affiliations, vehicle registrations, and social media handles — all pulled from independent sources and presented in a single dossier.
Start from a phone number or email address and work back to the registered identity. Useful when a client has received contact from an unknown party, or when following a communication trail.
Upload a surveillance photo or image and search against enrolled photographs across our database. Identify a subject when you have a face but no name — a capability unavailable in any standard people-search product.
Locate records by passport number, national identity card, tax identification number, or driver's license. Critical for verifying identity documents provided by a subject, or locating international subjects through their document trail.
Every major US competitor — Spokeo, TLO, IRB Search, Tracers, IDI — covers US records and stops there. If your subject is a foreign national, has moved abroad, holds dual citizenship, or has assets registered overseas, those tools hit a wall. Global Search covers 190+ countries, including comprehensive records from Latin America, the European Union, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.
This matters for the fastest-growing segment of PI work: international asset searches, cross-border custody disputes, locating debtors who have relocated to avoid judgments, and verifying the identities of foreign business partners on behalf of corporate clients.
If you run a large skip-tracing operation or process repetitive batch lookups — debt recovery portfolios, batch address verification, process serving queues — the Global Search REST API lets you automate every step. Query by any identifier, receive structured JSON, and integrate results directly into your case management system. No manual portal entry, no copy-paste. Volume pricing is available for API customers.
PI workloads are variable. You might run 3 searches one week and 300 the next. Monthly subscription models penalize quiet periods and reward overuse. Global Search charges $0.30 per query with no monthly minimum and no seat fees. You pay for what you use. Prepaid credit bundles reduce per-query cost for higher-volume months.
Global Search is a professional-grade platform intended for licensed private investigators, skip tracers, process servers, and the firms that employ them. Access requires account registration and agreement to our terms of service, which require lawful purpose and compliance with applicable data protection law in your jurisdiction. We do not sell access for consumer self-lookup or unauthorized surveillance.
