GETTING STARTED, 3 MIN READ

How to run your first search.

A walk-through of the 14-selector search form, what each field does, and how to read the results that come back.

IDLeakCheck searches across 205 sources — all 50 U.S. states’ voter and public records, ~150 social-media platforms, and ~5 breach + dark-web feeds — for the identifiers you provide. The more identifiers you give, the more confident the match.

The 14 selectors

You can search by any combination of the following. Start with 3–5 strong identifiers and add more if results are too broad.

  • First name
  • Middle name
  • Last name
  • Email
  • Phone
  • Date of birth
  • SSN (last 4)
  • Street
  • City
  • State
  • ZIP
  • Driver license
  • VIN
  • IP address

Reading your results

Each search returns one or more candidate matches. The disambiguation page shows the top 5 candidates ranked by confidence — pick the right person and you’ll see their full profile with breach hits, public records, social presence, and dark-web mentions.

TIPIf you’re getting zero matches, the combination of selectors is probably too narrow. Try dropping the middle name, loosening the DOB to year-only, or trying alternate spellings of the first name.
