Investigator Use
Radaris is a US people search and background check service that compiles public records including addresses, phone numbers, relatives, criminal records, court records, social media profiles, and associated businesses into comprehensive individual profiles.
For OSINT investigators, Radaris provides a broad aggregation of US public records in a single search, making it efficient for initial subject assessment. Its profile pages consolidate address history, associated people, phone numbers, professional history, and other public data that would require multiple separate searches to compile manually.
The associated people feature is particularly useful for building social networks around a subject. Radaris connects individuals who have been associated with the same addresses, phone numbers, or business entities — surfacing relationships between the subject and other individuals that may not be evident from other sources.
Business association data in Radaris profiles can reveal when a subject is connected to specific business entities as an owner, officer, or registered agent — providing leads for corporate investigations and establishing additional investigative threads.
Address history spanning multiple years establishes a longitudinal picture of a subject's residential movements, which is relevant for establishing presence in specific jurisdictions during relevant time periods.
Radaris aggregates from publicly available sources and may not have the most current information. Regular updates mean that current address data may be more recent than historical-focused databases.
Data use must comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act — Radaris reports cannot be used for employment decisions, credit decisions, or other FCRA-regulated purposes. Appropriate legal use cases include investigative research, locating individuals, and background reference.
Document all searches with queried identifiers, full report findings, and timestamps for case records.
