Instructions

1. Contact their place of employment. If you met the person through a work contact you may be able to find them with the help of their employer. The human resources department of their company or job has the contact information and can pass on your message for them to get in contact with you. You can look up the street address, phone number, or e-mail address on the Internet through a Google search. Once you call human resources let them know the full name of the person you are trying to contact and give your own contact information.

2. Contact schools and universities in the local area. If you know the town they live in you may contact schools and universities that they or their children may be attending. Search for schools in the local area on Google. Send letters, e-mails, or call the school and ask if the person you are trying to locate is enrolled or has relatives enrolled at the school.

   Tell the school principal the nature of the emergency that prompts you to call. School officials will assist you in locating parents and students if the cause is legitimate.

3. Contact local churches in the community your missing person lives in. Most churches have records of members and their contact information. You can find the church address on the Internet. If the church is part of a larger denomination, call the regional or local office of the group and request the addresses of the churches in the area. Let the church secretary know which person or family you are searching. She will be able to tell you if they are members or not and relay any message you would like to leave.

4. Contact the Mexican Embassy in the country in which you live. They have access to names and addresses of all Mexican citizens living in Mexico and abroad. Have as much information as possible when you call. The persons full legal name, names of spouse and dependents, names of other relatives, occupation, place of birth, date of birth etc., are helpful. The embassy can locate the person and relay your message for them to contact you.

5. Call Hacienda which is the tax board in Mexico. If you have done business with the person and have their tax payer ID number called a CURP you can locate them. The tax board has contact information for all Mexican tax payers. Many businessmen are required to file monthly income taxes with Hacienda. If the situation merits it, Hacienda can put you in contact with the missing person.
