Investigations & Skip Tracing Services
Skip Tracing for Service of Process
JPL Process Service, LLC provides skip tracing services to help identify address leads when a defendant is difficult to locate. If the last known address is no longer useful, we can help you review the next step.
Choose a locate report, priority skip tracing, or a due diligence declaration. Each is a separate service with its own price. Contact our office to discuss your assignment and timing before ordering.
Nationwide Skip Tracing Services
Skip tracing can help identify possible addresses for service of process. However, available records may be incomplete or outdated, and a search does not guarantee a current address or successful service.
Please provide the subject’s name, address, phone number, and date of birth. If a detail is unavailable, contact us before ordering. We will explain the appropriate intake process for providing identifying information.
Skip Tracing Service Options
Our skip tracing services offer three separate options:
- $75 Skip Trace / Locate Report: Standard work starts in 2–3 business days.
- $175 Priority Service: Call first to confirm availability and turnaround.
- $250 Due Diligence Declaration: A separate service related to service of process by publication. Confirm the assignment scope before ordering.
These prices are for separate service types, not automatic add-on fees. If you need more than one service, ask us to confirm the total. A due diligence declaration does not guarantee court approval of publication.
