What Skip Tracing Is

Skip tracing is the work of locating a person, or confirming where they are right now, when an address is stale, a phone is dead, or someone would rather not be found. Professionals rely on it to serve process, enforce a judgment, locate a witness or heir, recover an asset, or keep a matter moving.

It is not a people-search widget or a public records dump. A real skip trace pulls from many sources, resolves the conflicts between them, and confirms the result, so what you act on is verified rather than a best guess.

Because the underlying data is regulated, skip tracing is reserved for professionals with a lawful, documented reason to find someone. It is not for personal use, and we keep it that way.

Our Story

Why We Built This.

Investigative search is a category full of low-rent, sloppy, and sketchy-looking sites. Many of them earn that reputation, and the professionals who need this work most, the ones who put their name on a filing, are the ones who can least afford to use them.

We built Skip Tracers to be the opposite: a clean, fast, compliance-first service a licensed professional can rely on and stand behind. We treat the standard as the product. Verified results instead of a raw data dump, a permissible purpose on every order, and copy that never promises more than we deliver.

We are a United States business, based in California, and we search all 50 states. We work only with professionals who have a documented, lawful reason to locate someone. That focus is the entire point.

What We Stand For

The Standards We Hold.

Accuracy Before Everything

A trained member of our team reviews and verifies every report before it reaches you. You act on checked work, not a database dump.

Compliance by Default

Every order requires a permissible purpose. We are not a consumer reporting agency, and our reports are not consumer reports under the FCRA.

Confidentiality You Can Count On

Searches are encrypted and never sold or shared. Your report and the subject's data are deleted within seven days of delivery.

Built for Professionals

We serve licensed and professional users with a lawful, documented purpose, and we refuse, refund, and report anything that looks like misuse.

Why Professionals Choose Us

Professional Use Only

Service is limited to licensed and professional users with a documented, lawful reason to locate someone.

Important. Our reports are investigative work product, not consumer reports under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. They may not be used for employment, tenant, credit, or insurance eligibility decisions, and every order requires a permissible purpose. Read our full compliance posture →
