They say they’re single. But the story has gaps. A professional household and address search reveals whether someone is living as a single person or shares their home with an undisclosed partner — discreetly, in 24 hours.
Watch Overview💍 The Signs That Someone Might Not Be Single
Sometimes you just know something is off. They’re only available during certain hours. They never invite you to their place. They step outside to take certain calls. Weekend evenings are consistently unavailable. Or maybe nothing specific has happened — the conversation has been great, everything seems fine — but something quiet in the back of your mind keeps asking the question.
The reality is that people lie about their relationship status in significant numbers. A 2020 YouGov survey found that 20% of men and 13% of women admitted to having been unfaithful to a partner. Online dating has made it easier to pursue outside relationships while appearing completely single to everyone involved.
You have every right to verify what someone tells you before you invest more of yourself.
💡 Household Records Are More Reliable Than Marriage Records
Marriage records are public in most states — but they’re historical and may not reflect current circumstances. A marriage ended years ago might still show in records. An unmarried long-term partner won’t show in marriage records at all. Household records — which show who is currently listed as a resident at an address — provide a more current and complete picture of someone’s actual living situation.

👥 Who Uses This Service
Something Feels Off
Not a specific incident — just a persistent feeling that the story has holes. Trust that instinct.
Online Relationships Getting Serious
Things have been going well for a few weeks or months. Before you invest further, verify the basics of who this person actually is.
Long-Distance Situation
You’ve never seen their living space. They’re always meeting you elsewhere. Distance makes it easier to hide a double life — and easier to verify one too.
You’ve Been Burned Before
A previous relationship involved deception about relationship status. You’re not making that mistake again.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
👥 What does “household members” mean exactly?
Household members are other individuals listed as current residents at the same address — which typically includes spouses, domestic partners, and others sharing a home. An unmarried partner who lives with someone will typically appear as a household member.
💍 What if they have a spouse but are genuinely separated?
Separation without legal divorce is common. We report what the records show — who is listed at the address. What you do with that information is your judgment call.
