If you’re uncertain about an individual’s current location and need to have legal documents served or would like to collect unpaid debt, you should have them traced. The process of determining a person’s whereabouts for a variety of reasons is known as skip tracing. This work is performed by a skip tracer. The person being sought after is referred to as a “skip” and is derived from the idiomatic expression “to skip town,” which means to leave little evidence to “trace” the “skip” to a new location, possibly in a hurry.

The process of skip tracing involves gathering as much relevant data as possible about the subject. The data is then analyzed, reduced, and verified. The most important thing is to find new and accurate points of contact. The subject’s current location may be included in the data at times, but the sheer volume of information or misinformation can obscure it. The data will most often be used to find third parties who might be able to help with the process. The job becomes more than just research at this point.
Even when no specific information is returned, public databases exist that cross-reference skip tracing information with others the “skip” may have lived with in the recent past. For instance, in the event that previous records indicate that a third party and a “skip” shared a house, the third party may also be “skip-traced” in an effort to locate the “skip.”
Since we have access to significantly more resources than the majority of the public, tracking is relatively simple. However, we rely on the information our clients provide to begin the search to simplify the process. After that, we’ll look at a wide range of free and paid databases to see where your “skip” is currently residing.
After we’ve gathered enough information to identify their most recent whereabouts, we can track them and verify their primary residence. Once we have verified their location, we will provide you with that information.
Our skip tracers have been trained to find hard-to-find people who don’t want to be found or who move without notice. They use every legal means at their disposal to find them. We have access to both public and private national databases. Additionally, we check addresses with the post office, and by combing through social media accounts and other online sources, our skip tracing service makes up for what information these common sources lack.
Our skip tracers work tirelessly to locate individuals while adhering to the applicable skip-tracing, Service of Process, and debt collection laws. If you use our skip tracing service, you won’t have to worry about countercomplaints, like incorrect service or aggressive collection.
You shouldn’t hire inexperienced or questionable skip tracers when you need to find someone. Many of these so-called experts lack access to the databases needed to carry out a successful search.
