How to Locate a Missing Person Using Birthdate Only

Find people and reconnect.

There are many instances when it might be necessary to find someone. Maybe you lost contact with an old high school friend or college roommate. Legal issues such as child support or other court-related matters might also require you to locate a missing person. With the advent of technology, finding people has become easier than ever. With as little information as a name and birthdate, it is possible to locate individuals all over the world using a variety of resources.

Instructions

1. Send a letter with delivery confirmation to the individual's last known address. The post office will forward the mail if there is an address change. State in the letter that you are searching for the person and leave a name, number and email address where she can contact you.

2. Look up his name on social networking sites such as FaceBook, Linkedin, Twitter and MySpace. Name and birthdate are usually available without having to send a friend request. If you find him, send a friend request with an email explanation. Putting his name into a search engine may produce results as well.

3. Use websites such as Intellius or People Search. These sites will search the Internet for information on people using just their name and birthdate. You will have to pay a small fee to use people-finding websites.

4. Check your local courthouse for marriage and divorce records. These records may give you more information to aid you in your search. Check public civil or criminal records as well. This information may tell you where he was last located and give dates.

5. Hire a private investigator. If the issue is legal or of great importance, you may consider hiring a private investigator and providing him with the name and birthdate of the person for whom you are searching.
