After you submit

  1. 1
    Purpose is checked firstWe confirm the search is one we can lawfully run — and say so plainly if it isn’t.
  2. 2
    A written quote comes backScope, the cost retainer where third-party charges apply, and what each search can realistically return.
  3. 3
    You approve itNothing is pulled before that.
  4. 4
    The report comes backThe finding, the sources behind it, and how confident we are in it.

If the starting data is thin

  • A name alone is workableCommon names take longer to disambiguate and cost more to run down, and we’ll say so before you commit rather than after.
  • Searches get sequencedA cheap search that narrows the field often makes an expensive one unnecessary. We’ll tell you which order makes sense for what you hold.
  • We’ll tell you when to stopWhere the data doesn’t support going further, we say so rather than running the next search on the list.

Lawful purpose only

  • Vetted at intakeUnder the GLBA and DPPA, before anything is pulled — not after the invoice.
  • Not a consumer reportThese are not FCRA consumer reports and can’t be used for credit, employment, tenancy or insurance decisions.

Online intake is open any hour — or call (800) 321-2377.

What we search

What you hand over, and what comes back

Grouped by what each search actually returns, because that’s the choice you’re making. Every one of these is on the order form, with its price — tick the ones you want and we’ll tell you if a cheaper one would get there first.

01
Locating a personComprehensive skip tracing · reverse phone · reverse email · social media
You provide

A full name at minimum. A last known address, partial date of birth, prior addresses, a phone number, an employer, or names of relatives sharpen it considerably.

You receive

Current address, phone numbers, email and known associates — each with the source behind it and a confidence indicator, so you can judge whether to act or verify further.

02
Confirming who someone isSSN search · mortality check
You provide

Name and whatever identifiers you hold. For a mortality check, an approximate date or last known location helps rule the right person in.

You receive

Identity confirmation, or confirmation of death where that’s what the record shows. Both change what your matter can do next, which is why they’re worth running early.

03
Assets, for recoveryNationwide asset search · bank account search
You provide

A confirmed identity and, ideally, a judgment or the matter it relates to. Bank account searches are quoted individually rather than priced flat.

You receive

Real property, vehicles, business interests and account relationships where the data supports it — the groundwork for garnishment or execution.

04
VehiclesReverse licence plate · vehicle sighting · CarFax report
You provide

A plate or VIN, or the subject’s identity if you want vehicles tied back to them.

You receive

Registration detail, vehicle history, or sighting data where it exists. Useful for confirming someone is at an address before a server is sent out to it.

05
Records & legal historyBankruptcy · criminal background · real-time incarceration and arrest
You provide

Name and date of birth where you have it, plus the purpose — this group is the most tightly limited by law and the purpose decides whether we can run it at all.

You receive

Filings and record history from the sources available. An incarceration hit explains a subject who cannot be found at any address — and tells you where they can be served.

06
EntitiesRegistered agent search
You provide

The entity’s legal name and, if you know it, the state of registration.

You receive

The registered agent and service address on file with the state — which is what service of process on a company generally needs.

07
When nothing is foundThe outcome that still has to be worth something
You provide

Nothing further. This is what happens when the data doesn’t support a finding.

You receive

A no-find report setting out what was searched and what the data showed. For many matters that documentation is itself the next procedural step — it’s the diligence record behind a motion for alternative service.

Not sure which you need? Send what you have. Turnaround depends on the search and the subject, so it’s confirmed in writing with your quote rather than promised here — an asset search reaches regulated sources and takes materially longer than a locate. A locate also pairs straight into service of process at the verified address.

Before anything is pulled

What these searches are and aren't for

This is the part of the page that matters most. These are investigative searches, not consumer reports, and the difference is legal rather than semantic.

What we can run
  • Locating a party, witness or debtor in active or contemplated litigation
  • Finding a subject so process can be served on them
  • Post-judgment recovery — identifying assets to execute against
  • Due diligence and fraud investigation with a permissible purpose
What we won't
  • Credit, employment, tenancy or insurance decisions — those need an FCRA consumer report from a consumer reporting agency, which this is not
  • Locating someone who has a protective order against the requester
  • Any search where the stated purpose doesn't hold up at intake

Purpose is vetted at intake under the GLBA and DPPA, before anything is pulled. If we can't lawfully support a search we decline it and tell you why — which is cheaper for you than finding out later that a result can't be used.

Questions, answered

What people ask us most

Not here? Email info@served123.com or use the form above.

How little information can I start with?
A full name is workable. Everything else — a last known address, even a partial date of birth, prior addresses, phone numbers, an employer, a vehicle, relatives and associates — narrows the field and reduces what has to be run. A common name with nothing else attached is the hard case, and we'll tell you that before you commit rather than after.
Will you find them?
Often, not always. Results depend on what the data holds and what identifiers you can supply, and anyone promising a guaranteed find is describing a sales position rather than an investigative one. Where nothing is found you get a no-find report setting out what was searched — which for many matters is exactly the diligence record the next step requires.
Which search should I order?
Tick what looks right on the form and we'll come back on it. Often a cheaper search answers the question first — a mortality check or an incarceration search can explain a subject nobody can find at any address, and either one saves running a full asset search that was never going to land. We'd rather sequence it properly than sell you the longest list.
Can I use this for a background check on an employee or tenant?
No. Credit, employment, tenancy and insurance decisions are governed by the FCRA and require a consumer report from a consumer reporting agency. These searches are not consumer reports and must not be used for those purposes. That isn't a preference on our part — it's the condition under which the data is available at all, and it's checked at intake.
How long does a search take?
It depends on the search and on the subject, so it's confirmed in writing with your quote rather than stated here. As a rule of thumb, searches that reach regulated sources — assets, bank account relationships — take materially longer than a locate. If you have a deadline, put it on the order and we'll tell you whether it's realistic.
How are third-party costs handled?
Where a search carries a third-party charge, it runs through a retainer rather than a fixed figure: the retainer is set with your written quote, actual charges are drawn from it, and once the work is done we reconcile — refunded if it comes in under, billed if it runs over. The retainer sits on its own line, separate from the service fee.
What sources do you use?
Licensed investigative platforms that require credentialed accounts and permissible-purpose vetting, plus public records and proprietary databases. Every finding in the report carries a source note, so you can see what it rests on rather than taking a bare address on trust.
Do you cover the whole country?
All 50 states, D.C. and Puerto Rico. Data coverage isn't uniform across them — some states restrict motor vehicle and court record access more tightly than others, which affects what a given search can return. Where that limits your result we say so in the report rather than leaving a gap unexplained.

We'll confirm the purpose, tell you which searches are worth running in what order, and put the scope and cost in writing before anything is pulled.
