Find People: UK-Wide Search For Individuals using the edited version of the UK Electoral Register

It's not always easy to find people you're looking for in the UK, despite the growth in the Internet and the increased availability of personal data. Phone books are usually incomplete and Google results for people in the UK tend to be patchy or difficult to interpret – especially if you're dealing with someone who has a very common name.

However, there are reliable methods that allow you to find people. UK adult citizens are usually on their local Electoral Register, for example, and people may often turn up in a search of records held by HM Land Registry, the General Register Office, Companies House and other government institutions.

However, searching these data sources to find people in the UK hasn't always been easy, and used to mean a long time spent in public record offices, which are often far distant from where you are based.

People Trace Online can help you to find the UK people you need. We offer fast, easy online access to edited Electoral Register information from across the UK. The Electoral Register, even in its publically-available, edited version, is probably the most consistently effective way to find people in the UK, and searching online means that you can often find people within just a few minutes of starting to look. It's fast, easy, and cost-effective.

An Electoral Register search is one of the most reliable ways to find people, as local authorities go to great lengths to keep the data accurate and up-to-date. People are legally required to re-register when they move home, making it relatively easy to find people, even if they have moved a considerable distance, or change address relatively frequently.
