IRBsearch Newsroom

We’re adding additional features at no extra cost to our clients.

You’ve asked and we’re answering. Due to popular demand, two of the most requested features are being added to our Advanced Person Search Plus:

• Relative Relationships – Our relatives will now show their possible relationship to your subject, rather than just the degree of separation.
• Phone Scoring – Our phones section will now display a star rating to show the quality of relationship they have to your target.

The Most Robust and Powerful Phone Search Ever Built.

IRBsearch’s NEW Phone Finder Ultimate Search combines robust phone data with the industry’s largest repository of identity information.

Immediate notifications for updated addresses and phone numbers

We’ve expanded our popular Watchdog Service! In addition to Arrest and Incarceration notifications, you can now receive alerts when your target has an updated address and/or phone number. Simply run an Advanced Person Search Plus on your subject and set how frequently you’d like to check for updates – daily, weekly, or monthly.

Trying to find in-depth relationship info? Working on jury research?

The NEW IRBsearch Commonality Search is the fastest, most cost-effective way to identify relationships between up to eight persons and/or businesses! This search is different from a typical relationship search that shows one person’s relationships. It allows you to discover overlapping relationships between multiple individuals and businesses. Uncover multiple degrees of connections as well as the specifics of their relationships. Here are just a few ways to use it:

• Validate and reveal relationships
• Expand investigations
• Isolate collusion and fraud
• Confirm vendor independence
• Strengthen compliance
• Identify juror connections

Find your subject with our new Utilities-Only Search!

You’ve always had contact information available based on utility services such as gas/electric companies, water companies, phone carriers, cable providers, internet providers, wireline/wireless providers, but now you have access to it as a stand-alone search.

In our person searches, you may get many addresses for one person, including multiple properties, which can be extremely helpful. However, by breaking down your search into just utilities, you can find your subject’s most likely location by seeing where most of their services are hooked up, billing addresses compared to property addresses, etc.

Create Client-Specific Usage Reports with IRBsearch

Looking for your IRBsearch search reference code? It’s easy!

You have the ability to set up free Usage Reports to see a breakdown of your searches and reports daily, weekly and monthly. You can also pull a usage report on-demand anytime via My Account. Never guess what you spent on a certain search, a particular client or per user. This is a great tool to help you monitor billing for clients and staff time allocation.

Locate vehicles nationwide using license plate recognition data

We've added License Plate Recognition (LPR) data to IRBsearch allowing users to conveniently access Vehicle Sightings through any search or report containing a physical address, license plate number or VIN. Search this massive database of over 9 billion nationwide vehicle sightings, with up to 160 million sightings added each month.

Vehicle Sightings gives you instant access to current and historical locations of vehicles across the United States. This innovative tool allows you to plot multiple sightings for the same vehicle on a single map to uncover the most likely locations of search subjects.

Vehicle Sightings within IRBsearch is an essential tool for permitted investigative applications and ONLY for use by an insurer or insurance support organization such as Private Investigators, in connection with claims investigation activities, anti-fraud activities, rating or underwriting.
