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

- 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

How the process works
- 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
Scope and quote
You receive a written research scope, an estimated delivery window, and pricing so expectations are defined up front.
- 3
Structured research
An analyst works the assignment through a documented workflow using lawful public-record and open-source sources.
- 4
Verification and review
Findings are cross-checked against independent indicators, and anything that cannot be corroborated is labeled as unverified.
- 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.
