Question: <\/strong>I found someone\u2019s driver\u2019s license on the floor of the hotel where I work. How can I get in touch with him so he can pick it up? Can you use somebody\u2019s license number to look up their cellphone number?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer: <\/strong>You may be able to find someone\u2019s phone number by using the information on their driver\u2019s license, but there\u2019s no guarantee that the information will be accurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, you should be aware that there may be privacy laws and other legal considerations to take into account when you\u2019re looking up someone\u2019s phone number. It\u2019s much easier and more reliable to mail a found driver\u2019s license to the listed address, even if it takes a little longer to get back to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Takeaway<\/span>Private phone numbers are not usually considered a part of a person\u2019s public record, so if they haven\u2019t made that information available, it may be difficult to find.<\/span><\/div>

Possible options to tracking someone down<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

But if you really need to get in touch with someone and all you have is their driver\u2019s license, here are a few options for finding their phone number:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Enter their name and address into a search engine:<\/strong> Just running a basic online search for a person\u2019s name and address can sometimes yield additional information, like their cellphone number.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Use an online directory: <\/strong>Online white-page directories are massive databases that match cellphone numbers with their likely owners. The address listed on the driver\u2019s license may help you find a phone number with some accuracy, but there\u2019s no guarantee that the number listed on these directories is correct.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Look the person up on social media:<\/strong> You may be able to find the person\u2019s social media profiles by using their name and the general area where they live. In some cases, the person might have their phone number listed on one of their platforms, but even if not, you may be able to send them a message through something like Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Check the person\u2019s public records:<\/strong> Sometimes a person\u2019s phone number will be listed on public information like property records or voter registration information. However, your ability to access this information may be limited if you don\u2019t have the person\u2019s permission.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Pro tip<\/strong>: If you want to check whether someone\u2019s phone number is correct before you call them, try using a reverse phone lookup app or website. Search for the phone number that you find, then see if the same name and\/or address are listed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
