Anyone who has tried to verify a new contact, screen a rental applicant, or figure out who keeps calling from an unfamiliar number knows the drill: too many disconnected databases, too much manual digging, and no guarantee the results are current.<\/p>\n

BeenVerified built its business around solving exactly that problem. It’s a public records search platform that pulls together criminal records, contact details, vehicle history, and more into a single report. Below, we walk through how it works, what it does well, where it falls short, and how it stacks up against Swordfish as an alternative.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/a>BeenVerified Software<\/span><\/h2>\n

BeenVerified<\/a> is an online-based platform that helps users search for background information. It was founded in 2007 and has grown into one of the more recognized names in the consumer background check space.<\/p>\n

The platform offers a range of search tools, including people search, email lookup, address lookup, username search, unclaimed money search, and vehicle lookup. Each tool is built to surface a different slice of publicly available data.<\/p>\n

The people search function is the core service. Users can search by name, email address, phone number<\/a>, address, or social security number.<\/p>\n

BeenVerified also runs reverse phone lookups and email searches, which help users identify who is behind an unknown caller ID or an unfamiliar email address.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/a>How Does It Work?<\/span><\/h3>\n

The platform aggregates records from thousands of public sources so users don’t have to search each one individually.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Run a single search:<\/strong> Instead of visiting multiple records repositories one at a time, users run one search and get a consolidated report.<\/li>\n
  2. Single-point data availability:<\/strong> Results are pulled into one dashboard, which cuts down on the back-and-forth of manual research.<\/li>\n
  3. Data sourced from public records:<\/strong> Reports are built entirely from public record aggregates, not proprietary or verified-at-source data.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    BeenVerified packages its data into a handful of distinct tools:<\/p>\n
