Article: There's a lot of free information about most people on the Internet, most of which was put there by the people in question. If you want to find a person's address, you may be able to figure out their general location (e.g., a city) and work backward from there. This requires an appreciation of context. For example, if you're looking at a location to which you know the person often travels, you can infer that they live relatively close to that location. If you can find three (or more) sources which list their current location as being in a specific city, you can assume that they're in that city for the time being. Knowing this will narrow down your search.  Social media is the easiest way to determine this information, as most social media services will make your current city and state (or country) public information by default. You can also check graduation records, news articles, and other public records to see if you can find additional information about the person. You can learn a lot from viewing someone's common activities on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. Look for instances of any of the following:  Check-ins to places where they often eat or visit Relationships with other social media users (especially mutual friends) Location tagging (common on Instagram), especially when near their home Occupation or job history If you can find the person on LinkedIn, you can most likely figure out where they graduated from, what they currently do for a living, and where they work. This information will confirm their general location, and may even help you determine which part of the city (e.g., which neighborhood) they live in. If you know someone who frequently visits the person whose address you're trying to find, you may be able to talk to that person in order to determine where the person currently resides.  You might even ask the person if they want to visit the person whom you want to find with you in order to get directions to the person's address. In general, you'll want to avoid asking where the person lives outright. Determining the person's neighborhood and working your way down from there is a less creepy way to approach the conversation. If you absolutely can't find a person's address but you do know where they work or where they tend to eat, you can try hanging out near the location in order to run into them when they arrive. Keep in mind that this should be your last resort, and should only be considered if you and the person whom you want to meet are on good terms.  Using this method to stalk or harass someone is illegal, and may result in criminal charges or other consequences. Do not follow someone to their house without explicit permission from them.
