Better information supports better service attempts

Skip tracing may involve reviewing lawful databases, public records, known addresses, available contact information, business affiliations, and other relevant leads to identify a more useful service location.

Research results are leads, not guarantees

Database information can be incomplete, delayed, or associated with another person. Results should be evaluated alongside the case facts and may require field verification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Skip Tracing FAQ

What is skip tracing?

Skip tracing is lawful research intended to identify or verify potential addresses and related location information for a person or business.

Is a skip-trace result guaranteed to be current?

No. Research results are investigative leads and may not confirm present residence, employment, ownership, or availability.

What information should I provide?

Provide the full legal name, known aliases, age or date of birth when lawfully available, prior addresses, phone numbers, business affiliations, case context, and any failed-service information.

Can you find anyone?

No. Some people have limited records, common names, identity conflicts, or intentionally restricted information. Results depend on the quality of available lawful data.

Do you provide Social Security numbers or protected data?

No. Services are limited to lawful, permissible research connected to a legitimate civil-process assignment.

Can skip tracing be combined with service attempts?

Yes. Research may support a new address or field lead that can be reviewed for a service attempt.

How long does research take?

Timing varies with the complexity of the identity and the information supplied. Urgent needs should be explained during intake.

Is skip tracing legal?

Lawful skip tracing is used in many legitimate legal and business contexts. The requester must have a lawful purpose, and the research must comply with applicable restrictions.
