Person Tracing
When Person Tracing, or address tracing as its sometimes known, we use our skills and experience to find an address or contact details for a specified individual or company.
Accurate Results
The most common example of person tracing is debtor tracing, as debtors have a clear motive for moving to different properties and trying to avoid detection. However it is not always true that the subject is hiding deliberately. Person tracing may be used to track down court witnesses or the beneficiaries of an estate. Our teams’ skill set and experience ensure that even the most evasive of subjects can be located.

Why would I use Person Tracing Services?
I am trying to find a member of my family with whom we have lost contact.
Person Tracing
Person Tracing always begins with an initial consultation in which we gather as much detail as you do have about the person. If this is a family member, you might have an old address or a last known phone number. This is a good starting point for tracking down relations, as we can use various databases to trace them to their next property.
In familial cases, we can’t pass on contact details without the person’s consent. We can, however, open a channel of communication, so that you can tell them what you need, and we are happy to facilitate this.
Somebody has given me a false address.
Person Tracing
If you need to get in touch with someone, but discover the address they gave you is false, it is likely that they don’t want to be found. However, in some cases, you may have a right to look them up. It may be that your business needs to collect a debt from the subject, or that you are a solicitor and need the person to act as a witness in court.
We will use our expertise and the details you do have, such as a name or a phone number, to trace the address of the person and help you contact them.
I need to serve papers but I don’t know where the person lives.
Person Tracing
Serving court papers to an individual ensures without doubt that they have received the details of the case and hearing they must attend. Without an address, it can be near impossible to do this, allowing the individual to avoid attending court for an ongoing period of time, frustrating the case. To trace an individual, we need their name and any other details you can provide, such as date of birth, previous addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, or their place of work.
RevealPI also provide Process Serving services. Once we have confirmed their address we are able to serve papers on your behalf and using the skills of a covert surveillance operator, serve even the most evasive of subjects.
