What Is Skip Tracing in Private Investigations?
Locating someone for a Legal Matter
Skip tracing is the process of locating a person who has gone missing—either intentionally or unintentionally. In the world of private investigations, it’s commonly used to find individuals who are:
- Avoiding legal obligations (like court appearances or debt repayment)
- Difficult to locate for service of process
- Missing heirs, witnesses, or defendants
- Skipping out on leases or financial responsibilities
The term “skip” refers to the person who has “skipped town,” and “tracing” is the act of finding them.
How Does Skip Tracing Work?
Private investigators and skip tracers use a variety of legal tools and databases to locate the individual, including:
- Public records (property, court, criminal, or business filings)
- Credit headers and utility records
- Social media and digital footprints
- Contacting known associates, neighbors, or employers
- Specialized investigative databases
