Skip Tracing & Locate Services
Finding people who are hard to find, through public records and licensed data sources, with in-person confirmation of Indiana addresses.
Who we locate
Skip tracing means finding someone who has moved on without leaving a forwarding address. The people we are asked to find include a witness a lawyer needs, a defendant avoiding service, a debtor who moved, an heir in a probate matter, an estranged family member, and a tenant who left owing rent. Each of those is a different job, and the first conversation is about which one yours is.
Cheshire Investigation Agency runs online skip tracing and public-record searches from our Indiana office under private investigator license PI22500020. Records-based locates can be done for subjects anywhere in the United States. When a lead points to an Indiana address, our investigators can confirm it in person with a discreet drive-by, a canvass, or a short surveillance window.
How a locate works
We start with what you lawfully have: a full name, date of birth, last known addresses, phone numbers, employers, relatives, or vehicles. The more you share, the faster we can separate the right person from others with the same name. We compare old and new addresses, phone numbers, and associates across public records, licensed investigative data sources, court filings, and property and business records, then rank the leads by how current and reliable they are.
Some data requires a permissible purpose under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and the Driver's Privacy Protection Act, and we will ask you to confirm yours. We do not pretext phone companies or banks, hack accounts, or place a tracking device on anyone's vehicle.
Adults generally have the right to live where they choose. A locate is about information and safe, lawful contact, never about forcing anyone home or helping someone harass or intimidate another person. We decline files with that purpose.
What you receive
A written report that lists the most likely current address or contact, how it was developed, how it was confirmed, and how confident we are in it. Leads that did not pan out are listed too, so you know what has already been ruled out. If a search comes up empty, you still get a summary of everything that was checked.
Once an address is confirmed, we can coordinate with your process server or handle process serving in Indiana. Law firms can read more on skip tracing and background investigations for law firms, and families looking for someone should see missing persons.
