From a name to a full report in minutes
Start with a name and a phone number or email. TellData does the searching, cross-checking and writing — and hands you one plain-English verdict.
Childcare · private sales · contractors and crew · new hires — the same six checks, one clear verdict.
One clear answer
You type in what you already know. Everything else happens in the background.
1 · Start with what you have
A name, a phone number, an email — even an SSN and state if you have them. More identifiers means a sharper match.
2 · We run the checks
TellData queries identity records, courts, watchlists and digital footprint sources, then cross-checks everything against the details you gave.
3 · Read one clear report
A plain-English PDF lands in your dashboard with a clear screening result — usually within minutes.
Six checks in every report
Every report runs the full scope — the same categories professional screeners use.
SSN trace
Confirms identity, state and year of issuance, and reveals aliases and associated persons.
The phone and email checks are powered by the same infrastructure behind reverse phone number lookup and email lookup. Once you know what the report contains, you can verify someone or compare plans.
Court & criminal records
Searches authoritative court and criminal databases — criminal, civil, administrative and traffic matters.
Watchlist & sanctions
Screens the person against watchlists and sanctions databases.
Phone intelligence
Checks whether the phone number really belongs to the name you were given, plus carrier and location signals.
Email & account footprint
Reviews the email address and the apps and websites where it is used as a login.
Social & web presence
Reviews public web references, social profiles and profile photos connected to the person.
