Not many people know how to find a person by last name, first name, middle name in Russia for free. To do this, people left alone or relatives lost in different cities can use the Internet or specialized services in the Russian Federation.
How to find a person in Russia via the Internet
To start a person search is best with social networks. The largest in Russia are VK (VKontakte) and OK (Odnoklassniki). The first of these social networks is mainly used by young people and middle-aged people, while the older generation often chooses the second resource. This is worth remembering if you are looking for a person of a certain age. One way or another, it’s worth checking both resources.
Register in the selected social network. To confirm your personal data, you will need a valid mobile phone number. Next, it is advisable to fill out a personal page and set a profile photo to make it easier to contact other users. Each of the social networks has a search service. Please note that here you can find a person not only by last name, first name, patronymic, but also, for example, by his place of study or work, place of birth and residence, etc. Therefore, indicate in the special fields all the information about a relative or friend that you know.
Examine search results by browsing user pages and looking at information on them. If you managed to find the one you need, send him a personal message or request to add as a friend. Be sure to tell who you are so that the person will recognize you and be able to answer. But even if luck didn’t smile at you, try to find relatives, fellow students, friends, and everyone else who might know the whereabouts of the person you are looking for. Contact them also through private messages.
Sometimes, in order to find a person by last name, first name, middle name in Russia, it is enough to “drive” his data into Internet search engines, for example, Yandex or Google. Check the various combinations, adding to the name, city of residence, place of work and other facts known to you. There are many online resources that could provide useful information about who you are looking for. These include job search sites or relationships, lists of company employees, sites with advertisements, etc. Some of this may be in the search results.
How to find a person in Russia through the FMS
Applying to the Federal Migration Service is one of the little-known, but quite effective ways to find a person for free by last name, first name and patronymic in Russia. The search algorithm in this case is as follows:
- Make a request request for a person who has moved to another city or republic. Indicate fully the name of the person and, if possible, his date and place of birth.
- Indicate the reason for requesting information. This may be the restoration of relations with relatives or friends.
- Provide your own details, including the series and passport number.
- Apply to the nearest FMS office or use the public services website. Wait for a response from the service staff (it may take several weeks). In this case, the Federal Migration Service will require the consent of the person to disclose his current location. In case of refusal, information about him will not be provided.
