    About 1SkipTrace

    What is Skip Tracing?

    Skip tracing is the process of finding a person for any number of purposes such as serving a subpoena, divorce papers, foreclosure action, and other legal documents required to proceed with your case.

    Our expert staff performs this task with efficiency and professionalism by conducting thorough efforts to locate an evasive defendant or missing person. Those individuals or even companies who have changed residence, are in hiding, or evading being served can be found using our professional skip tracing services.

    We utilize the most comprehensive skip tracing resources that are not available to the general public, and are proud to have an industry-high success rate over 95%.
