Phone Finder Find by Phone Search Method

You can use a phone number to perform a LexisNexis^® Phone Finder search.

This search lets you run a full search or a Line Risk Assessment search. Line Risk Assessment is a more succinct search that completes risk verification checks against a phone number before it sends a one-time password. This procedure explains running a full search. For information about completing a Line Risk Assessment search, see Line Risk Assessment Search.

Depending on your product subscription, you may not have access to this search.

1. If it is not already selected, then select Find By Phone.
2. Enter a complete phone number with or without dashes, spaces, periods, or an area code (for example, 1234567891, (123)4567891, 123 456 7891, 123 4567891, 123-456-7891, 123.456.7891, 456-7891, or (123) 456 7891).
3. To associate your search with a customer or a topic, provide a label (for example, the customer's name or a topic name) in the Reference ID field.
   The History function lets you view the searches that are associated with a reference ID.

   Your organization may require a reference ID in a particular format. Additionally, the contents of this field may be automatically completed or the field may have restrictions that are configured by your administrator.

4. Click Search.
   A report that includes a Phone Risk Indicator value of Pass, Warn, or Fail is returned. This value indicates the risk level of the phone number.

   If the Phone Risk Indicator value is Pass or Warn, then you can click (OTP) to send a one-time password. For more information, see Phone Finder to One Time Password.

   Depending on the administrative settings for this product subscription, you may not see this field or option.
