The moment Vett was built for

You're in the Uber.
He says he's a structural engineer who travels for work. Is he?

You've already done the social media check. The Insta is private. The Hinge profile is fine. He seems normal in the messages. But there's something in your gut.

By the time you arrive at the bar, you'll know. A name and a photo is enough. No mucking around with private investigators or hour-long Google deep-dives. One tap, traffic-light verdict, peace of mind. Or a reason to turn around.

How it works

Three taps. Thirty seconds.

No accounts to set up before you start. No friend network. No exposing yourself. You give us what you have, we run the search, you get a clear answer.

1

Drop what you've got

A name. A photo from his profile. A phone number. Or just paste a screenshot of his Hinge profile and let us pull everything out automatically.

2

We do the digging

Reverse-image search across 200+ sites. Aussie court records (46 million of them). Adverse media. Sanctions. Data breaches. ASIC. Socials. The lot, in parallel, in seconds.

3

Red, amber, or green

One clear verdict at the top, every signal listed below it. Sources cited. No accusations, just facts. You make the call. Save it, screenshot it, send it to a friend.

Features

More than just a verdict.

The check is the start. What you actually need is a friend in your pocket who knows what to do with the result.

Ask Vett

"What does deregistered actually mean?"

The report shows you what we found. Ask Vett explains what it means. Conversational follow-up on every result. No legalese, no compliance speak. Plain English answers from a friend who actually knows what to do with this stuff.

  • Trained on your specific report
  • Suggests questions you might've missed
  • Tells you when something doesn't matter
  • Tells you when it does
Anything worry you?
What does deregistered mean?
A deregistered company is one that's been removed from ASIC. Usually means the business shut down properly — taxes paid, papers filed. Only a worry if there are unpaid debts tied to it (there aren't).
On its own, this is a soft amber. Not a red.
Should I cancel?
Receipts

One tap. Send to your sister. She gets it.

Every report exports as a clean, beautifully designed receipt. Save the image. AirDrop it. Paste it in the group chat. The vibe of the report matters as much as the data — a Vett receipt looks like something to take seriously.

Vett shares who.

iPhone's Check In is great if your friend already knows the guy. If she doesn't, "she's somewhere in Surry Hills" isn't enough.

What we check

Questions

The honest answers.

Is this legal in Australia?
+
Yes. We only surface publicly available data. Court list records, ASIC, news media, public socials, sanctions lists — none of it requires consent. We're a search engine for information that's already public, organised so you can actually use it.
Will he know I checked him?
+
No. We don't notify, contact, or interact with the person being checked in any way. Searches are anonymous on our end too — we don't sell or share who you searched for.
Why isn't this a full criminal record check?
+
Australian criminal record checks legally require the subject's consent — that's why employers ask you to sign a form. What we do is different: we search public court list records (the schedule of who's appearing in which court), public news, and other public registers. It's a lot of signal without crossing the consent line.
How is "Tell a friend" different from Apple Check In?
+
Apple Check In sends your location. Vett sends your location plus the venue, his name, his photo, his phone, and the full report on him. If something goes wrong, your friend doesn't just have a pin on a map — they have everything they need to find you and tell the police who to look for.
What if I get a red flag?
+
Read the detail. Every finding shows what it is, where it came from, and what it might mean. A "red" doesn't always mean don't go — sometimes it means ask a direct question. Trust your gut, meet in public, tell a friend where you're going. Vett is one input, not the verdict.
Can I search by phone number or email?
+
Yes. Phone, email, name, photo, or any combination. Each adds confidence to the verdict. A phone number tells us the carrier and line type. An email unlocks Gravatar, Hunter, and breach history — and lets us cross-check the name he gave you against the name registered to that address.
Can I get a refund if I don't like the result?
+
No, we charge for the check, not the verdict. But if a check fails technically (data source down, no result returned at all), we'll refund or run another one for free.

Peace of mind.
$9.99.

Run your first check. Most women take less than a minute, all up. By the time you're at the bar, you'll know.
