A skip trace locates a person or a company that has moved, gone quiet or left a bad address behind. In litigation it usually answers one question: where can this subject be served, or where are the assets a judgment can reach.
We run skip traces for attorneys, paralegals and process servers, and for people handling their own case. You tell us who the subject is and why you need them found; we tell you, in a written quote, which searches fit what you already hold.
Every search runs on lawful sources only, and only for a purpose the law permits.
The same steps apply whether you send one subject or several, and whether you need a single search or the Comprehensive Skip Trace.
The subject’s name, anything you already know, the searches you want and your purpose.
We confirm the search is one we can lawfully run for your purpose, and tell you plainly if not.
The scope and the price, and what each search can realistically return for what you hold.
You approve the quote and pay its invoice online. The searches run after that, never before.
The addresses and leads found, or a no-find report listing each search run and what it returned.
Grouped the way the order form groups them. Each search other than the Comprehensive Skip Trace is priced in your written quote.
A full name at minimum. A last known address, a date of birth or a phone sharpens it.
Current address, phones, email and known associates, or a confirmation of death.
Each search is priced in your quote first.
A confirmed identity, the judgment or matter, and for a company, its legal name.
Assets on record for garnishment or execution, and the filing and record history.
A plate or VIN, or the subject’s identity if you want vehicles tied back to them.
Registration, history or sighting data where it exists, to confirm an address first.
Not sure which search fits? Describe the problem and your quote suggests one.
A description of what you need found, in the special instructions on the order form.

Before any search we confirm your purpose is a permitted use under the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act (DPPA, 18 U.S.C. 2721(b)) or a GLBA exception (15 U.S.C. 6802(e)). Both laws limit how the records are used.
The DPPA permits use in connection with a civil, criminal, administrative or arbitral proceeding, including service of process and the execution or enforcement of judgments (18 U.S.C. 2721(b)(4)).
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act permits disclosure to protect against or prevent actual or potential fraud (15 U.S.C. 6802(e)(3)(B)).
These searches are run for litigation and service of process, not eligibility decisions. We do not furnish them as FCRA consumer reports, and they must not be used for credit, employment, tenancy or insurance decisions.
We will not run a search meant to locate someone protected by a court order against the requester, or any search whose stated purpose does not hold up at intake. If we decline a search, we tell you why.
Describe it on the form. It must still fall under one of the two permitted uses above; your certification covers it, and we keep it with your order.
Most orders are one subject and one search. When you hold little more than a name, we keep the cost in proportion to what the search can return, and ask only for what it needs.
Common names take longer to tell apart; your quote flags it up front.
A lower-cost search often makes an expensive one unnecessary.
Where the data runs out, we stop before running the next search.
The form refuses a full number. Our order email masks it as ***-**-1234.
A written report with the addresses, phones, emails and known associates the search found. For an entity, its registered agent and service address.
Access to motor vehicle and court records differs by state; your written quote says where that matters for your subject and your searches.
Once the subject is found, we can serve the papers at the new address, in any state.
We serve nationwide: service of process, or subpoena domestication for a witness.
No result still comes back as a documented no-find report. It records which searches were run on which subject, and what each one returned.
A no-find report can support a motion for alternative service. What your court requires first is set by its rules; your counsel decides how to use the report.
The Comprehensive Skip Trace is $55 per subject, whether or not it finds a new address.
Every other search is priced in your written quote first, before anything is run.
What attorneys, paralegals and process servers ask before they order a skip trace.
A search that locates a person or a company that has moved or cannot be found at a known address. In litigation it is used to find a subject for service of process, a party or a witness, or the assets a judgment can reach.
The full name of the person, or the legal name of the entity. A last known address, a date of birth, the last 4 of the SSN, a phone number, an employer or the names of relatives all sharpen the search. A name alone is workable; your quote says how workable.
Current address, phone numbers, email and known associates, where the data supports them. It is $55 per subject.
Each search other than the Comprehensive Skip Trace is priced in your written quote. The quote lists the price of each search you chose before anything is pulled, and we tell you if a lower-cost search would get there first. Our other services are on our pricing page.
The DPPA and the GLBA limit how motor-vehicle and financial records may be used, so the purpose is checked before anything is pulled. The form asks you to choose the purpose and to certify it, and we keep that record with your order. The statutes are 18 U.S.C. 2721(b) and 15 U.S.C. 6802(e).
No. A skip trace here is for litigation and service of process only, never for credit, employment, tenancy or insurance decisions.
Often, not always. Results depend on what the data holds and the identifiers you can supply, and we never promise a find.
It depends on the search and on the subject, so it is confirmed in writing with your quote rather than stated here. If you have a deadline, put it in the special instructions and we will tell you whether it is realistic.
You get a documented no-find report: which searches were run on which subject, and what each one returned. It can support a motion for alternative service; your counsel decides how to use it. The $55 covers the search, whether or not it finds a new address.
Because the last 4 is enough to help tell two people with the same name apart, and a full number is more than a search needs. The form refuses a full number written in the usual formats, in any box.
Yes. The Registered Agent Search returns the registered agent and service address on file with the state, which is what service of process on a company generally needs.
Yes. We serve process in all 50 states, D.C. and Puerto Rico. Tell us in the special instructions, or see service of process.
Tell us who you need found. Your quote lists the searches that fit and the price.
