Frequently Asked Questions
What is TraceCheck?+
TraceCheck is a lookup platform that helps you identify the people, contacts, and items in your life using publicly available information. With four tools — phone lookup, email lookup, photo lookup, and VIN lookup — you can find the identity or history behind nearly any contact point in seconds.
How does TraceCheck work?+
Enter what you have — a phone number, email address, photo, or vehicle identification number — into the search widget. TraceCheck scans public records, social media, and open-source intelligence (OSINT) from sources around the world and compiles a profile of everything linked to that input. Sign in to view the full report.
What can I look up with TraceCheck?+
TraceCheck offers four lookup tools. Phone lookup identifies the owner, carrier, and line type behind a phone number. Email lookup surfaces names, social profiles, and accounts tied to an email address. Photo lookup finds public profiles and web mentions of a face or image. VIN lookup decodes a vehicle identification number to reveal make, model, history, and registration details. You can use any or all of them from a single subscription.
