Frequently Asked Questions

Trying to locate someone often raises questions about what can be found, how the process works, and how long it takes. Below are answers to the questions we hear most often.

Often, yes. A full name helps, but the more you can give us—an old address, phone number, date of birth, workplace, or the names of relatives—the faster and more accurately we can locate the right person.

Yes. Locating a person’s current address and verifying an active phone number is one of the most common things we do, using skip tracing, public records, and database research.

Yes. We regularly help people reconnect with birth parents, siblings, and relatives they’ve lost touch with, using records research and OSINT—always handled with sensitivity.

Absolutely. Every investigation is handled discreetly, and the person you’re looking for is not notified that a search is taking place.

Many searches are completed within a few business days, though harder cases—someone who is deliberately off the grid—can take longer, depending on the information available.

That’s up to you. We can simply provide verified location and contact details, or discuss the best and safest way to make contact once we’ve confirmed the right person.
