It is not uncommon to find yourself in a situation where you want to know someone’s age, but it may not be appropriate to ask them directly. Fortunately, there are several ways to find out someone’s age without making things awkward. Read on and check what they are…

1. Use a Free People Search Engine

The easiest way to find out someone’s age is with a people search engine. It’s a search engine designed specifically to search for people-related information, including age, name, address, phone number, and public records.

You can use True People Search to look up someone’s age for free. Just enter the person’s name in the search box and select their residing state to narrow down your search results. If you don’t know the state, you can leave it blank. This will bring up all the reports of the same name; you can view information including age, city, and state the person lives in, and their relatives there.

If it’s a common name you searched, there will be many records to sift through. Click “View Details,” and you’ll be able to learn more information about the person, which can help you identify them on the list.

True People Search can provide basic information about individuals, like their full name, aliases, age, address, phone number, email address, and possible relatives.

If you’d like to go deeper, background check tools like Social Catfish, Peoplefinders, and Truthfinder can take you beyond basic info. These services usually require a fee to access the results, but they can be a one-stop shop to get extra insights on people, including their social media accounts, public records, employment details, and more.

2. Seach Public Records Manually

Some people choose to unlist them from people search engines so you might not be able to locate them on those websites. In this case, you can go old school and try searching public records manually.

Vital records, including birth and death certificates, as well as marriage licenses, are typically accessible online or at governmental offices. You can search for the person’s name in these records to find out their age.

Just Google”birth certificate” along with the county the person lives in to find the right place to perform the search. You may need to pay a fee to access the records.

3. Check Their Social Media

Social media platforms such as Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), and LinkedIn can be great resources to find out someone’s age.

If you’re connected with this person on any social network, check their bio to see if they include their birthdate there. And if they don’t, you can also check their posts and comments to see if there are any mentions of their birthday.

Additionally, you may be able to get an estimate of their age by looking at the year they graduated from high school or college.

4. Google Search

If all else fails, you might want to try a common search engine to see if you can trace the person’s online presence and get some valuable leads.

You can search for their name along with keywords such as “age,” “birthdate,” or “year of birth.” If you know more details about the person, such as their hometown and occupation, you could add those parameters to the search (for example, “john doe new york teacher”).

Google will search through millions of websites and bring up pages related to your search queries. This won’t be the most effective method in finding out someone’s age, but it’s definitely worth a try.
