What Is Skip Tracing?
- Skip tracing is a targeted investigative process using public records, proprietary databases, phone directories, and online research to identify and locate individuals when traditional contact information fails.
- Designed to assist legal professionals, investigators, and private clients in reaching a person who may be evading service or moving frequently
