What information helps a process server find someone?

The better the starting facts, the faster both skip tracing and service go. Even partial details help when they are specific and current.

Most useful

• Full legal name, and any other names the person uses
• Date of birth
• Last known home address
• Employer or workplace, with hours if you know them
• Vehicle make, model, color and plate
• A recent photo or physical description
• Relatives, roommates or close associates

Also helpful

• Earlier attempts and what happened
• Gate codes, unit numbers or building access notes
• Safety concerns, dogs or anything the server should know before going to the door

The order form has a place for all of this. More detail up front means fewer wasted trips.
