Orange County Skip Tracing: Useful Information And Realistic Limits

Skip tracing is research intended to identify a possible current location for a service assignment. Someone may be difficult to locate because records are old, names are similar, or an address is incomplete. That does not establish that the person is deliberately hiding.

Start With Information You Can Provide

Give the provider the correct name, known addresses, useful identifying details, and the purpose of the assignment. Explain which information is confirmed and which is a lead. Avoid guessing that similarly named people are the same person.

Use Reliable, Lawful Sources

Records and databases vary in age and accuracy. Sensitive records are not automatically available for every purpose. Do not rely on an old article’s suggestion that anyone can obtain another person’s credit report or use a Social Security number to guarantee a location.

Understand What A Result Means

A possible address is a lead to assess. It does not prove residency, establish the proper legal method of service, or guarantee a successful attempt. Let JPL know about reliable schedules or access information that could help assess a new location.

Confirm Scope And Price First

Ask what research is included, how results are reported, and whether service at an additional address is separate. Current fees depend on the work requested. Obtain approval before adding research or extra attempts.
