A username search (also called a reverse username lookup) helps you find information about the person behind a social media handle, screen name, or online alias. Enter a username and BeenVerified searches billions of public records and online sources to see what may be connected to that handle. Over 1 million customers have used BeenVerified to research online identities using public records.

If you've been chatting with someone on a dating app and only know their handle, a username search can help confirm whether that account appears connected to a real identity — and whether the details they've shared match public records or other online profiles.
Sometimes the only thing you remember about someone is their old screen name from a forum, game, or social network. If that username is still being used elsewhere, a search may help you locate current accounts or updated contact information.
