Summary: While you can not find the specific owner of an IP address, you can find their ISP using a WHOIS search.

How do I figure out who owns an IP address? |
You may not be able to get to the specific owner in all cases, but you can find out who owns the block of IP addresses that this address comes from, which is typically the ISP. It's called a WHOIS search. One good source is the ARIN database.

But as I keep saying, the ISP is as close as you can get. You CANNOT
further determine the actual location of the IP address without the
ISP's help.

You can find the location of the ISP, which may OR MAY NOT have anything
to do with the location of the specific IP address.

Okay so u can't find the address of an IP, but when you convert the IP into the domain or ISP can you e-mail there and will the person receive the e-mail?

No. That domain could represent thousands of different people. There's no way
to know who to send your email to.

The average person cannot.
Law enforcement almost certainly can.
