Records Finder

What Records Finder does

RecordsFinder.com is a privately held, self-serve public-records search platform operated by InfoPay, Inc. and headquartered in Boston. The company aggregates over two billion public records — including criminal histories, court documents, property data, driving records, and vital records — from thousands of federal, state, county, and local government sources across all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. Users can query the database by name, phone number, email address, street address, social-media user ID, VIN, or license plate, with the platform exposing a unified search interface across dedicated modules for criminal, court, vital, property, contact, asset, and people search.

The core technology is a web-based aggregation and indexing layer that consolidates heterogeneous government and third-party data into a single search experience, refreshed on a continuous cycle (most recent update timestamp June 24, 2026). The architecture is product-led: visitors enter through a freemium search funnel and are subsequently converted to either per-report one-time purchases or monthly unlimited subscriptions. The platform explicitly disclaims FCRA consumer-reporting-agency status, restricting use cases to permissible purposes such as personal due diligence, tenant or employment verifications consistent with applicable law, legal research, and genealogy.

Go-to-market is driven primarily through SEO and a content marketing library of hundreds of educational guides covering legal, safety, property, and genealogical topics, supplemented by Trustpilot-displayed customer testimonials and a centralized customer-support channel. The customer base is horizontally segmented across individuals, landlords, legal professionals, employers, journalists, academics, and genealogists, with no disclosed named enterprise logos or ARR concentration. International exposure is nascent, with searchable coverage extending to Canada and Australia alongside the United States.

Emerging players

• Pipl: Identity resolution and people-search data provider operating both consumer and developer/API-facing offerings. Overlaps with RecordsFinder on people search and public records aggregation but with a stronger emphasis on identity-verification and developer integrations.

Direct peers

• US Search: Subscription-based people-search service providing criminal, court, and contact lookups across all 50 states. Operates in the same product category as RecordsFinder with similar use case framing around reconnecting and background checks.
• BeenVerified: Subscription-based public records and people-search service aggregating criminal, court, property, and contact data from government and third-party sources. Closely mirrors RecordsFinder's product catalog, subscription pricing model, and consumer/landlord target segments.
• Intelius: Established people-search and background-data brand offering criminal, court, contact, and reverse-phone lookups through subscription plans. Operates in the same category as RecordsFinder with comparable audience and product scope.
• TruthFinder: People-search and public records aggregation platform offering criminal, court, contact, and asset lookups via self-serve subscription. Direct competitor to RecordsFinder with overlapping product modules, similar freemium/PLG motion, and the same FCRA exclusion posture.
• PeopleFinder: People-search platform offering contact info, background reports, and public records via subscription. Directly comparable to RecordsFinder on product modules, customer segments (landlords, individuals), and PLG acquisition motion.
• Spokeo: People-search and contact lookup platform aggregating public records for identity, background, and reconnect use cases. Direct competitor overlapping RecordsFinder on people, phone, email, and address search with the same self-serve freemium mechanics.
• Instant Checkmate: Public records search service focused on criminal backgrounds, contact info, and asset lookups delivered via subscription. Direct peer with overlapping modules, similar content/SEO-driven acquisition, and identical FCRA-aware positioning.

Broad incumbents

• Whitepages: Long-established incumbent providing people search, reverse phone, address lookup, and broader identity/contact data services. Comparable to RecordsFinder on core people-search functionality but operates a much wider portfolio including premium identity and business data.
• LexisNexis Risk Solutions: Large-scale data and analytics vendor aggregating public, proprietary, and contributed records for background screening, fraud, identity, and compliance use cases. Operating at far greater scale, it is comparable as the broad incumbent that anchors the institutional end of the same public-records ecosystem RecordsFinder addresses on the consumer side.
