Process Server Support

Skip Tracing for Process Servers

Recover a bad address, develop the next attempt location, and document the research behind it.

What this service is

Process server support is skip tracing scoped to service of process. The objective is a defensible next attempt location, delivered fast enough to matter, with documentation you can reference in an affidavit of due diligence.

Common qualifying use cases

  • The address on the pleading is vacant or wrong
  • Multiple attempts have failed and diligence must be documented
  • The subject appears to have relocated out of the county or state
  • An entity must be served through a registered agent
  • A workplace or alternate service location must be researched

What research may include

  • Address development and prioritization for the next attempt
  • Associated-location and relocation indicator research
  • Registered agent and business address research
  • Occupancy and address currency verification
  • Identity disambiguation for common names
  • Research documentation to support a diligence affidavit

What this service does not include

  • Performing service of process ourselves
  • Physical surveillance
  • Device or telephone tracking
  • Locating individuals protected by court order
  • Any research intended to harass a subject

How the process works

  1. 1

    Intake and purpose review

    We confirm who is requesting the research, the matter it relates to, the jurisdiction, and the intended use before any work begins.

  2. 2

    Scope and quote

    You receive a written research scope, an estimated delivery window, and pricing so expectations are defined up front.

  3. 3

    Structured research

    An analyst works the assignment through a documented workflow using lawful public-record and open-source sources.

  4. 4

    Verification and review

    Findings are cross-checked against independent indicators, and anything that cannot be corroborated is labeled as unverified.

  5. 5

    Reporting

    You receive organized findings with source notes, confidence indicators, limitations, and recommended next steps.

Potential deliverables

  • Prioritized attempt address list
  • Confidence indicator for each address
  • Associated locations and best attempt-time guidance where supportable
  • Research documentation and source notes

Limitations and compliance

We provide research, not service. Whether a location is appropriate for service, and whether diligence has been satisfied, are determinations for the server, counsel, and the court.

All case requests are reviewed for a lawful and authorized purpose. TracePoint Forensics reserves the right to decline any request that does not meet its compliance and ethical standards.
