Can you credit check an address?

No – credit checks are done on people, not addresses. Your address is simply used alongside other information to help confirm your identity. You can be linked to other people on your credit report if you share finances with them, such as a joint mortgage.

What address do I use for credit check?

As long as your address in current with all of your creditors, your current address should be the one that is listed on your credit reports.

Can you do a credit check without an address?

Why your address matters during a credit check. Your address is essential for credit checks, whether you're applying for credit, a job, renting a property or getting insurance quotes – without being able to verify your current address, the checks can't proceed.

How does an address show up on credit report?

Your creditors may report any address where you have received mail, and any address associated with an account that has your name on it. This means that it's normal for your credit report to include addresses unrelated to your residential address, like temporary mailing addresses, work addresses and P.O. boxes.
