Beta

Lodestone Data is in open beta. Coverage is still expanding, some searches are not live yet, and published rates may change. What is live today.

Search products

What you can run.

Every search below runs from the same screen, against one normalized result format. Additional sources (OSINT and others) appear as new searches in the same place, not as a new tool to learn.

Bundled

Three named reports

Locate & relatives, where they are and who is around them. Assets & employment, what they own and where the wages are. Court & public records, what is on file. Each runs exactly the searches it names, at 10% under running them separately.

  • ReturnsOne report, every component itemised with its own search ID
Core

Person locate

Names and aliases, date of birth, SSN validation, current and previous addresses with validation detail, phones with carrier and line status, Death Master File check and high-risk flags, the workhorse of a locate, and where most files start.

  • ReturnsAKAs, DOB, address history, phones with carrier, DMF, risk flags
  • Behind itCredit bureau header, alternative consumer credit files, and over 960 million registered landline and wireless numbers
  • CoverageThe majority of the U.S. adult population
Core

Phone break

Number to subscriber, with line type, carrier and when the number was last seen active. Works in reverse too: start from a number and work back to a name.

  • ReturnsSubscriber, line type, carrier, first/last seen
Core

Address search

Occupancy history for an address, who has been associated with it and over what dates. Useful when the subject has moved but the household has not.

  • ReturnsOccupants, date ranges, property linkage

Network development

Relatives, neighbours, associates and roommates, found by linking people who share or have shared a residence with the subject, current or historical. The layer that resolves a file when the subject has gone quiet, and the one that matters most in protective and threat work.

  • ReturnsLinked individuals with contact type, verified and shared addresses, phones for each, reporting dates
  • MethodSearch and linking algorithms over shared-residence history
  • In the platformDrawn as an interactive relationship map you can rearrange

Identifier append

Date of birth, SSN validation and identity verification, the checks that separate two people with the same name before you act on the wrong one.

  • ReturnsConfirmed identifiers, match confidence

Business resolution

Entity to FEIN, officers, registered agent and affiliated entities, plus UCC filings naming the secured lender and the collateral behind them.

  • ReturnsEntity record, principals, affiliations
Law enforcement

Criminal, warrants & incarceration

Felonies, misdemeanours, traffic matters and incarcerations, with charges filed, charge level, final disposition and date, sentencing and listed verifiers. Nationwide instant search plus statewide and county-level lookback, drawn from court records, Department of Corrections records and law enforcement records.

  • ReturnsCriminal and traffic records, sex offender records, arrests, wants and warrants
  • Not for screeningInvestigative use only, never employment, tenancy or credit decisions
Restricted

Vehicle & registration DPPA

State DMV and government registration data: registered address, date of birth, VIN and tag, title issue date and status, licence number and origination, liens and lien type, and year, make, model, body type and colour.

  • RequiresA declared DPPA permissible use, 18 U.S.C. 2721(b)
Restricted

Driver licence DPPA

Licence search and verification. Requires a verified DPPA permissible use on the account; otherwise the request is refused before any provider call.

  • RequiresVerified DPPA purpose
Digital

Digital footprint

Take an email address, phone number or username and find where that identifier is registered across the consumer internet (social platforms, marketplaces, messaging, dating, gaming, crypto) plus whether it appears in a known breach. The layer that resolves a subject who has no recent credit-header trail but lives online.

  • TakesEmail, phone, username, domain or wallet address
  • ReturnsRegistered platforms, profile handles and links, creation and last-seen dates, breach exposure
  • Why it mattersBureau data says where someone lived. This says where they are now.
Sources

Premium data, the same tier as TLO, IRBsearch and IDI.

This is not a discount file behind a cheaper interface. Locates here are built on premium credit header data, the identifying portion of a credit file, not the credit report itself. That means name, known addresses, phone numbers and date-of-birth fragments, sourced from all three nationwide credit bureaus, together with alternative bureaus that capture people the big three cover thinly.

That base is the same premium tier TLOxp, IRBsearch and IDI are assembled from. Where we go further is the alternative bureaus layered on top: they carry the thin-file and no-file subjects (recent immigrants, young debtors, people living largely in cash) that the big three cover sparsely. Easy subjects resolve anywhere. Those are the ones that decide a matter.

Every material field also carries source attribution, and each result is marked single or corroborated by how many independent sources agree, rather than merged into one confident identity with no provenance. More depth, and more signal about which of it you can act on. See the full comparison.

On top of that sit public record files: property and vehicle registries, business filings and UCC, court records, and licence data. Premium sources, billions of records, cross-referenced so that a result corroborated by two independent sources can be distinguished from one that rests on a single file.

Continually updated, and never served from a cache

The underlying files refresh continuously as bureaus, registries and courts report, address changes, new filings, new phone assignments. Every search you run queries the current file at that moment. We do not hold a periodic snapshot and re-serve it, and we do not return a previous customer's result to you as if it were fresh.

Your own results are retained for 30 days so you can re-open them, then purged. Re-running a subject later returns what the sources say then, not what they said before, which is the entire point when someone has moved.

Credit header is not a credit report

Header data carries no account numbers, balances, tradelines or scores, and nothing here is a consumer report under the FCRA. Results may not be used for credit, insurance, employment, housing or any other FCRA-permissible purpose. See compliance for what each permissible-purpose code does and does not allow.

Not offered

Bank and brokerage location is not available here.

Not at any price, not on request, and not by escalation. Deposit and securities account location is not a database lookup. It needs a permissible purpose reviewed by a person, and a wrong answer sends a writ to the wrong institution.

No product on this platform returns bank or brokerage account information, and there is no upgrade path, partner referral or premium tier that changes that. If an account locate is what your matter needs, engage a licensed investigative agency directly.

  • No bank or brokerage product exists in the catalogue
  • Not available self-serve, by request, or by referral
  • No account-balance or account-verification data of any kind

Lodestone Data is a data platform. It is not an investigative agency and does not perform investigative work.

What is live today, and what is not.

We are in open beta. That is not a disclaimer bolted onto a finished product, it is the accurate description of where the platform is. Fifteen searches run against live data right now. Six are built, priced and visible in the app, but greyed out because no source is provisioned for them yet. They run nothing and bill nothing until they are.

Live

Person search; relatives and associates; phone lookup; reverse phone; email search; identity verification; SSN validation; deceased check; employment locator; digital footprint; OFAC and watchlist; bankruptcies, liens and judgments; evictions, suits and judgments; property search; and vehicle search.

Not live yet

Criminal records; driver licence search; driver licence verification; business reports; professional licences; and UCC search. These are pending provisioning with our providers. You will see them in the app marked coming soon; there is no way to accidentally run or be charged for one.

Image search and facial recognition

Coming soon. Search from a photograph, rather than from a name or an identifier: upload a face and find the accounts and profiles it appears on. Our digital footprint provider has shipped this in their own platform, and we are waiting on API access before we can offer it here. It is not live, it is not billable, and we will publish a rate for it the day it is.

What beta means for your money

Published rates are what you are charged today, and every search shows its price before it runs. We reserve the right to change published rates as coverage and our own costs move. If that happens, it is announced before it takes effect and never applied retroactively to searches you have already run. Beta accounts are not locked into a term.

Run the products against your hardest files.

At $5 a month, the comparison costs you almost nothing.
