Private Company, Public Records
More than 250 million public records are in store at Intelius’ database at this very moment. With that, it is well in the position of serving personal intelligences, employment screening tools, and identity theft protection measures to the American market.
Public records offer a most telltale yet legal look at any person. They can take so many forms like published telephone numbers, addresses, real estate deeds, dockets, census files, marriage contracts, professional licenses, death certificates, tax liens, lawsuit filings, and so forth.
From them, Intelius has verified, if not uncovered, personal information at the behest of customers, which include HR professionals and corporations. In its more than five years of providing information services, Intellius has:
- reunited war veterans lost from each other,

Additionally, it employs experts who can assist with people searches and researchers who can personally check criminal records against courthouses.
On the strength of these offerings, Intellius CEO and founder Naveen Jain nearly clinched the Ernst & Young award for 2006 Entrepreneur of the Year. At the American Business Awards of the same year, Intelius claimed no other than the Best New Company award, which was followed the next year by a nomination for Most Innovative Company. Not a few of the company’s services and products have claimed honors of their own too.
