How Virginia Number Lookup Works

Virginia's reverse number lookup gives residents access to available name and address information from public government databases at the federal, state, county, and city level. FTC complaint data and user-submitted spam reports are included. Whether you want to verify a missed call, check a suspicious number, or block a persistent scammer, you get the information to act on it.

1. Enter the number, including the area code. Northern Virginia uses 703 and 571, Hampton Roads is 757, Richmond uses 804, and the Shenandoah Valley is 540.
2. Our search checks public records, open government databases, FTC complaint data, and what other users have said about the number.
3. Whatever owner info is on file shows up, along with any spam reports. Northern Virginia's proximity to DC means a lot of calls claim to be from government agencies. A lookup helps you check whether that's true.
