All of us in life can face such a situation when it is very necessary to find a person, and apart from his surname, there is no other information about him. Someone is looking for a close relative or friend, the prosecutor's office and bailiff services are looking for debtors, witnesses and defendants on various judicial issues by this parameter. And often it is the surname that becomes the decisive clue in the search for a person's registration.

Step 1
Flip through the telephone directories of your locality. It is worth remembering that they can be quite outdated, but the likelihood that you will find a person by last name in a village or small village / town is still there. In small villages, if people move to a new place, then not with the same frequency and frequency as city dwellers do. It is more difficult with megacities.
Step 2
Visit the address bureau. These institutions have almost complete information about the registered citizens of a city or other settlement.
Step 3
Check with private detective agencies. The work of professional detectives can be very successful, especially if you provide, in addition to the surname, several data accompanying the person: information about relatives, place of study, work, and more. However, if you are thinking of resorting to the services of detective agencies, get ready to shell out a tidy sum for their work.
Step 4
Use the modern capabilities of the Internet. The resources of the World Wide Web contain a lot of social networks, such as VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Moi Mir, Facebook and others. If you know roughly what a person looks like, what age, where he studied and where he lived, then these resources can really help you effectively. However, keep in mind that success in your search is guaranteed only if the person you are looking for is registered on these social sites, moreover, under his last name. Enter the desired surname in the search, try to type it in both Russian and English. From the list provided, select the one you are looking for. If the search was successful, write a private message to the wanted person and make an appointment with him. This search option is most convenient for those who are looking for a person with a fairly rare surname. Those who need a person with the surname "Petrov" or "Ivanov" will have to work hard.
Step 5
Also, the Internet offers to your attention many sites specializing in finding people - take advantage of this. But remember that some of them are fraudulent, you can pay money and get nothing in return. If the resource is working, then the probability of finding a registration of a person by last name is very high.
