Skip tracing

How accurate is skip tracing?

What a skip trace can and cannot tell you.

A skip trace is only as good as the records behind it. Results can be current, recent, partial or mixed, especially when the person moves often, uses several addresses or leaves a light paper trail.

What affects accuracy

  • How recently the person moved
  • How complete the identifying details are
  • How good the public and commercial records are for that person

What to expect

A skip trace might produce one strong address, a few recent possibilities, or leads that still need checking in the field. It is a locating tool, not a guarantee. We tell you how confident we are in each result so you can decide what to do with it.
