Locate services may support a variety of lawful matters.
 
⚖️ Process Service
When the provided address is outdated, incorrect, or unsuccessful, locate research can help identify a better service location.
 
📄 Litigation Support
Attorneys and legal teams may need current location information for parties, witnesses, defendants, or other individuals connected to a case.
 
🧾 Judgment & Collection Matters
Location research may help identify current addresses, employment indicators, or other relevant information for lawful enforcement activity.
 
👨Family-Law Matters
Locate services may assist with identifying current location information relevant to certain family-law matters.
 
🏢 Business & Commercial Matters
Research may help identify business owners, former employees, partners, debtors, or other individuals connected with a commercial dispute.
 
🔎 General Investigative Matters
Locate services can also support broader private-investigation assignments where determining a person’s location is necessary.

1️⃣ Submit Subject Information
Provide as much information as possible, such as:
•    Full legal name
•    Date of birth, if known
•    Last known address
•    Phone number
•    Email address
•    Employer or business
•    Known relatives or associates
•    Previous locations
•    Any other identifying information
The more accurate the starting information, the more effectively the research can be targeted.

2️⃣ Research Begins
Available public records, investigative databases, and other lawful sources are reviewed for potential location information.

3️⃣ Findings Are Cross-Checked
Possible matches are compared across multiple data points to reduce the risk of relying on outdated or incorrect information.

4️⃣ Leads Are Evaluated
Potential addresses, businesses, contact information, and related records are reviewed for relevance and consistency.

5️⃣ Findings Are Organized
Relevant information is compiled into a clear investigative summary.

6️⃣ Next Steps Are Recommended
Depending on the results, the next step may include:
📄 Attempt process service
🏠 Conduct address verification
👁️ Begin surveillance
🏢 Attempt a workplace location
🔎 Perform additional research
🕵️ Escalate to a broader investigation

​A database result does not always mean a subject still lives at a particular address.
When additional confirmation is needed, field verification may help determine whether a subject appears connected to a location.
This may include:
📍 Visiting the address
🏠 Observing occupancy indicators
🚗 Noting vehicles present
🏘️ Lawful neighbor inquiry
📸 Exterior documentation when appropriate
📝 Investigator observations
Field verification can help distinguish between an old database address and a location that appears more likely to be current.

Depending on the assignment and available information, the final locate report may include:
📍 Possible current address
🏠 Prior address history
📞 Available phone information
📧 Available email information
🏢 Business or employment indicators
🏡 Property information
👥 Possible relatives or associates
📑 Relevant public-record findings
📝 Investigator notes
➡️ Recommended next steps
The amount and type of information available will vary by subject.

Locate research develops investigative leads, but it cannot guarantee that:
•    A person currently lives at a particular address
•    Every record is current
•    A subject will be physically present at a location
•    Every database source contains accurate information
•    A person can always be located successfully
Records may be outdated, incomplete, or associated with another individual.
Where necessary, research findings may need to be confirmed through field verification, surveillance, or process-service attempts.

Locate services are especially useful when process service has already been attempted unsuccessfully.
If a server discovers that:
❌ The subject moved
❌ The address is vacant
❌ The subject is unknown at the location
❌ The provided information is outdated
❌ Multiple attempts have been unsuccessful
the assignment can be escalated into locate research to identify a stronger potential address before additional service attempts are made.
This helps avoid repeatedly attempting service at a location that may no longer be valid.

Some matters require more than database research.
When appropriate, locate services may be combined with:
 
👁️ Surveillance
To help determine whether a subject appears connected to a particular location.
 
🏠 Field Verification
To evaluate whether a possible address appears current.
 
🏢 Employment Research
To identify possible workplaces or business affiliations.
 
📑 Public-Record Research
To develop additional information that may support identification or location.
 
📄 Process Service
To move directly from locating the subject to attempting lawful service.

Locate services are provided for lawful investigative purposes and may be subject to applicable privacy, data-access, and permissible-purpose requirements.
Certain records or information may not be available for every assignment, and the lawful purpose of the search may affect what information can be accessed or disclosed.

What information do you need to start?
A full name and last known address are helpful, but additional information such as date of birth, phone number, employer, email address, or known relatives can significantly improve the research.
 

Can you locate someone with only a name?
Possibly, but common names can produce multiple potential matches. Additional identifying information helps improve accuracy.
 

How accurate are locate results?
Accuracy depends on the quality and recency of available records. We cross-check findings where possible, but no database or public-record source is perfect.
 

Can you confirm that someone currently lives at an address?
Research can identify likely addresses, but physical occupancy may require field verification, surveillance, or a process-service attempt.
 

Can locate services be added to a process-service assignment?
Yes. Locate research can be used when the original address is outdated, incomplete, uncertain, or unsuccessful.
 

Can you locate someone anywhere in the United States?
Research may be available nationwide, depending on the subject, available data, lawful purpose, and assignment requirements.
 

How long does a locate search take?
Turnaround depends on the complexity of the assignment, quality of the starting information, and level of verification required.
 

Can you guarantee that you will find the person?
No. Some subjects have limited, outdated, or conflicting records. We provide the strongest available leads and clearly document the limitations of the findings.
