Finding a person is difficult, especially in another country. But if you have knowledge of at least the first and last name, you can try to find your friend or relative, although you will have to be patient. Where to start your search and who can you contact?
Instructions
Step 1
Gather all kinds of information: full name, surname, city, if you know where the person lives, when he moved there and where he lived before.
Step 2
Consult the German telephone database on the website www.telefonbuch.de Of course, it is not a fact that the person published his phone number, but you have a small chance of success. The difficulty is also that there is no single database, and you will have to contact exactly the city in which the person you need is supposedly living in
Step 3
If the person you are looking for has a car, then it must be registered in the Zulassungsstelle (an analogue of our traffic police). Check their database and you may be able to track down your friend or relative. The Germans are a very law-abiding people, and they are very conscientious about documentation.
Step 4
Try to use the services of the organization Ausländeramt, which stores information about citizens of other countries who came to Germany for permanent residence. This structure does not register tourists, but if the person you are interested in lives in Germany on a permanent basis, you have a good chance of finding it in the database.
Step 5
Try hiring a private investigator. Although his services are quite expensive, it will be much easier for him to access the database than it is for you. An officially registered detective will promptly carry out all the necessary search activities, and you can hope for success. The cost of services for tracing a person can cost from 200 euros.
Step 6
Use social media resources in your search. The large Facebook network contains information about millions of people, and the minimum material to start searching is just the first and last name.
Step 7
As a last resort, contact the consulate and try to apply for a person search. Provide as much information as possible about the person you are looking for.
