Skip Tracing for
Service of Process etc.
A bad address can waste days of service attempts. If the subject has moved, the address is outdated, or previous attempts have produced no useful contact, a skip trace can help identify a stronger location before additional attempts are made.
We research available address history and public-record data to look for current and recently associated addresses. When available, we also review information that may help distinguish between people with similar names and determine which address appears most relevant to the subject.
This service is commonly used by attorneys, law firms, process servers, landlords, businesses, and individuals who need better location information before moving forward with service of process. Skip tracing can be ordered as a standalone service from anywhere in the United States.

Common Reasons to
Order a Skip Trace
Locate Someone for
Service of Process
Need to serve legal documents but the subject is no longer at the address provided? We research current and recently associated addresses to help develop a stronger lead for the next service attempt.
Current Address Research
If you have a name and an old or incomplete address, we can research available records to identify addresses that appear more recently connected to the subject.
Multi-State Skip Trace
People move across county and state lines. Our skip tracing research can follow address history and location leads across the United States rather than limiting the search to one local area.
Hard-to-Locate Individuals
For subjects with repeated failed attempts, outdated information, multiple possible addresses, or limited identifying details, we can conduct a deeper review to narrow down the most useful location leads.
Need Help Locating Someone? Start a Skip Trace
If you need a better address before moving forward, our nationwide skip tracing service can help. We work with attorneys, law firms, process servers, landlords, businesses, and private individuals who need updated location information for service of process or other legitimate matters.
Provide the subject’s full name, last known address, and any identifying details you have available. We review address history and related records to develop the strongest available location leads and help you decide the best next step.
Our Process: How Skip Tracing Works
A Practical Skip Tracing Workflow
Our skip tracing process is built around one goal: giving you useful location information, not just a long list of outdated records. We review the information you provide, research available data, compare possible matches, and organize the strongest leads before sending the results back to you.
STEP 1 — Review the Information You Have
STEP 2 — Research Address History & Location Leads
We review available records for current and previously associated addresses, location history, and other information that may help establish where the subject is most likely connected now. If the person appears to have moved between states, the research can follow those leads nationwide.
STEP 3 — Compare & Prioritize the Results
A skip trace can produce more than one possible address. Instead of treating every record as equally useful, we compare the available information and identify which locations appear stronger, more recent, or more relevant to the person being researched.
STEP 4 — Results Delivered for Your Next Step
Once the research is complete, we provide the most useful location leads identified during the search. You can use the results for service of process, additional investigation, address verification, or another legitimate purpose.
Frequently Asked Questions
What information do you need to start a skip trace?
The more identifying information you provide, the better we can narrow the search. A full legal name and last known address are usually the best starting point. Date of birth or approximate age, phone number, previous addresses, relatives, employer information, or other known details can also help confirm that we are researching the correct person.
Can you run a skip trace anywhere in the United States?
Yes. Our skip tracing service is available nationwide. The person you are looking for does not need to be located in California, and you can order the research from anywhere in the United States.
What do I receive after the skip trace is completed?
We provide the most relevant location information identified during the research, which may include a likely current address, recently associated addresses, and other useful location leads when available. The goal is to give you practical information you can use for the next step.
How quickly can a skip trace be completed?
Turnaround depends on the information available and the complexity of the search. Many routine searches can be completed quickly, while cases involving limited information, common names, or multiple possible matches may require additional research.
Can you guarantee that the address is current?
No legitimate skip trace should be presented as a guaranteed location. People move, records change, and some databases update faster than others. We evaluate the available information and identify the strongest address leads we can find rather than presenting uncertain data as confirmed fact.
What if previous service attempts were made at the wrong address?
That is one of the most common reasons clients order a skip trace. If a process server reports that the subject moved, is unknown at the address, the property is vacant, or repeated attempts produce no useful contact, address research can help determine whether another location should be tried before additional attempts are made.
Who can order a skip trace?
Our skip tracing service is available to attorneys, law firms, process servers, landlords, businesses, and private individuals with a legitimate reason to locate someone. You do not need to be located in California — requests can be submitted from anywhere in the United States.
What if I have very little information about the person?
Send us whatever you have. A full name and last known address are especially helpful, but even older information can provide a starting point. Approximate age, date of birth, previous phone numbers, known relatives, former employers, or prior addresses may help distinguish the correct person from others with similar names.
What if the skip trace returns multiple possible addresses?
That can happen, especially when someone has moved several times or maintains connections to more than one location. We review the available information and prioritize the addresses that appear most relevant rather than simply providing an unexplained list of records.
How do I get started with a skip trace?
Send us the subject’s full name, last known address, and any additional identifying information you have. We review the details first and let you know if there is enough information to begin the search. Once the request is confirmed, we proceed with the research and provide the results when completed.
Why Choose Our
Skip Tracing Service
Why Clients Use Us for Skip Tracing & Address Research
- Practical research focused on usable location leads, not just raw database results
- Nationwide skip tracing for subjects who may have moved across cities or state lines
- Review of current and previously associated addresses to identify stronger leads
- Additional identifying details are used to help separate the correct subject from people with similar names
- Results are reviewed and organized before they are provided to the client
- Experience with skip traces connected to service of process, including bad addresses, moved subjects, and unsuccessful service attempts
Skip tracing is most useful when the information you already have is no longer reliable. An old address may still appear in records long after someone has moved, and a search can return several locations connected to the same person.
Our approach is to review the available information, compare possible matches, and identify the addresses that appear most relevant to the subject. The goal is not to overwhelm you with data — it is to give you better information for deciding where to look, where to attempt service, or what step to take next.

What to Know Before Ordering a Skip Trace
More Information Means a Better Match
A full name and last known address are a good start. Date of birth, approximate age, previous phone numbers, former addresses, relatives, or employer information can make it easier to distinguish the correct person from similar records.
A Skip Trace Is Not a Location Guarantee
Address records are constantly changing. A strong result may identify a likely current address or several recent location leads, but no legitimate skip trace can guarantee that a person is physically present at a specific address.
Results May Include More Than One Address
Some people remain associated with several locations at the same time. When that happens, we review the available information and prioritize the addresses that appear most recent or relevant instead of presenting every record as equally useful.
Nationwide Research Is Available
The subject does not need to be in California. Skip tracing can follow address history and location leads across the United States, making it useful when someone has moved to another city or state.
