Overview

Finding People and Verifying Entities

When a defendant, witness, or debtor can't be found at a known address, service cannot proceed — and court deadlines don't wait. Our investigative team uses public records databases, field verification, and a network of domestic and international investigators to establish a current, serviceable address as quickly as the circumstances allow.

For corporate defendants, we also verify the correct legal entity, registered agent, and jurisdiction of formation before service is attempted — avoiding wasted attempts on the wrong entity or address.

Every search is documented. Whether we locate the subject or not, you receive a full record of the investigative effort — which courts require to support a motion for alternative service.

What's Included

Every assignment includes the following, regardless of destination country or service method.

Skip Tracing

We use public records, proprietary databases, and investigative techniques to establish a current, serviceable address for individuals who have moved or are difficult to find.

Corporate Entity Verification

We confirm the correct legal entity name, registered agent, and jurisdiction of formation before service is attempted — in the U.S. and through foreign corporate registries.

Field Verification

Where database searches suggest an address, we can coordinate field verification — a physical check of the location before a server is dispatched — to avoid wasted service attempts.

International Investigations

Through our network of international investigators and agents, we conduct locate and verification work in foreign jurisdictions, subject to each country's legal limits on investigative activity.

Due Diligence Reports

For matters requiring more than a locate — background verification, asset search, or place-of-business confirmation — we produce a documented investigation report usable in court.

Affidavit of Diligent Search

Where a subject cannot be located, we produce a sworn affidavit documenting every search and attempt — the foundational document courts require before authorising alternative service.

How It Works

A clear sequence from receipt of your documents through to proof of service.

  1. Submit the matter

    Provide us with the subject's last known information — name, address, employer, or other identifiers — and the deadline for having a serviceable address.

    Any lead is a starting point
  2. Database search

    We search public records, proprietary databases, and available electronic records to identify current address candidates.

    Nationwide and international databases
  3. Field verification

    Where a candidate address is identified, we verify it physically before dispatching a server to avoid a wasted attempt.

    Confirm before serving
  4. Results documented

    Whether service is completed or not, we provide a full documented report or sworn affidavit of the investigation for your court record.

What to Provide

The more we have to start with, the faster the search.

  • Subject's full name (and any known aliases) Legal name preferred
  • Last known address Even an outdated one is a starting point
  • Date of birth or Social Security Number (if available) Significantly narrows database results
  • Known employer, vehicle, or other identifiers Any lead helps
  • Your deadline for a serviceable address Needed to prioritise the search

Frequently Asked Questions

What is skip tracing?

Skip tracing is the process of locating a person who has moved or is otherwise difficult to find, using public records, database searches, and investigative techniques to establish a current address.

Can you investigate someone located outside the United States?

Yes, through our network of international agents and investigators, though available resources and legal restrictions on investigative activity vary by country.

What happens if the person still can't be located after an investigation?

We provide a documented affidavit of due diligence detailing every search and attempt made, which can support a court motion for alternative methods of service, such as service by publication.

How long does a skip trace take?

Domestic investigations often return results within a few business days. International investigations vary depending on the country and the information available to start with.
