Question 1

What is professional skip tracing?

Accepted Answer

Professional skip tracing is a structured research process used to develop current contact, address, ownership, or associated-record leads for a legitimate legal or business matter.

Question 2

How is this different from an online people-search site?

Accepted Answer

Consumer lookup sites return unverified aggregated data. Our work is analyst-led: records are compared, conflicts resolved where possible, and findings reported with source notes and stated limitations.

Question 3

Do you operate a public lookup tool?

Accepted Answer

No. We do not offer any public search by name, telephone number, address, or email, and we do not maintain a public people-search database.

Question 4

Do you work nationwide?

Accepted Answer

We can support many matters throughout the United States, subject to jurisdiction, scope, permissible purpose, and available resources.

Question 5

Who can request an investigation?

Accepted Answer

We primarily work with attorneys, process servers, estate professionals, property professionals, corporate legal teams, and other authorized clients. Individual requests are reviewed carefully and may require additional documentation.

Question 6

Do you accept personal requests?

Accepted Answer

Some individual requests may qualify when the requester can document a legitimate purpose. We do not accept anonymous, retaliatory, abusive, or surveillance-related requests.

Question 7

What information is needed to start?

Accepted Answer

The initial form should contain information about the requester, organization, jurisdiction, case type, intended use, and general objective. Sensitive subject information should only be provided after case acceptance through an approved secure method.

Question 8

What happens if my request is declined?

Accepted Answer

You are told the request was not accepted. No research is performed on a declined matter and no fee is charged.

Question 9

Do you guarantee that someone will be located?

Accepted Answer

No. Investigative outcomes depend on record availability, the accuracy of the starting information, jurisdiction, elapsed time, and the complexity of the matter. We provide realistic expectations and clearly identify research limitations.

Question 10

How quickly can a case be completed?

Accepted Answer

Delivery time depends on the type and complexity of the assignment. A projected delivery window is provided after the initial case review.

Question 11

What does a report contain?

Accepted Answer

Scope, findings separated from analysis, source notes with record dates, confidence indicators, an explicit limitations section, and recommended next steps where relevant.

Question 12

Can findings be used for tenant screening or hiring?

Accepted Answer

No. Our reports are not consumer reports and may not be used for employment, housing, credit, or insurance eligibility decisions.

Question 13

Is my request confidential?

Accepted Answer

Requests are handled according to the company's privacy, information-security, and record-retention procedures. Initial forms should not contain unnecessary sensitive personal information.

Question 14

Can I upload documents with my inquiry?

Accepted Answer

Not during the initial inquiry. If a case is accepted, we provide a separate secure document-transfer method.

Question 15

How do you protect research subjects?

Accepted Answer

Through purpose review before acceptance, scope limited to what the matter requires, no pretexting, and no research on individuals protected by court order or an address-confidentiality program.
