SmartBackgroundChecks offers a “smart people search” that lets you easily run a background check on someone. The website aims to provide the most accurate and thorough search, and you can start with just a name, phone number, or address. After inputting that data, SmartBackgroundChecks.com will display all the relevant information including location history, full contact info, aliases, public records, and more.

The database accesses almost a billion public records that come from over 2,000 data sources, all of which are verified. We recommend opting out so that SmartBackgroundChecks.com does not display your data.
