Locating Individuals for Legal, Corporate, and Personal Matters
Life can create distance, but it doesn’t have to be permanent. Whether you need to locate a witness for legal proceedings, find a missing employee, or reconnect with a lost family member, we provide a fast, reliable, and discreet person trace service. We understand the urgency and sensitivity of these searches and are here to provide the answers you need to move forward.
Get Started in 5 Simple Steps
1. Initial Consultation & Case Assessment
Start with a confidential inquiry. A specialist will schedule a call to understand the specifics of your case, gather key information, and define the objectives of the search.
2. Intelligence Gathering & Analysis
Our expert analysts use our advanced systems and access to global databases to discreetly conduct the search, cross-referencing data points and verifying all potential leads.
3. Delivery of Your Location Report
Within 7 business days in most cases, you’ll receive a detailed report compiling all verified data, including last known locations, potential contact information, and aliases.
4.Support & Consultation
Our team is available to discuss the report’s findings and provide further insights or recommend next steps, ensuring you have the clarity you need.
5. Follow-Up Investigation (Optional)
If further tracing is required, additional investigation can be conducted to pursue new leads, verify locations, or gather further intelligence related to the individual.
At Checks & Traces, Data Ethics is a core principle. Our checks are purposefully developed to provide clients with meaningful insights that support informed decision-making, while protecting the privacy, dignity and integrity of all parties involved.
Our screening processes are guided by responsible data use, privacy protection, proportionality and recognised ethical principles. Information is assessed only where it is relevant to a legitimate screening purpose, and our approach is designed to avoid unnecessary or excessive collection of personal information.
We are committed to fair, responsible and contextual assessment. Screening results are considered carefully, with appropriate human judgement applied to help reduce misleading, incomplete or unfair conclusions. Information is handled securely and treated with the level of confidentiality appropriate to its sensitivity.
Checks & Traces also maintains a zero-tolerance approach to the misuse of our services. Our services may not be used for illegitimate purposes such as doxxing, harassment, intimidation or extortion. Suspected misuse is treated seriously and may be reported to the relevant authorities.
Our goal is simple: to help organisations make better-informed decisions while ensuring that responsible data practices remain at the centre of every screening process.
Ethical Screening, Always.

There are many reasons to conduct a Person Trace, including:
Finding lost loved ones: Reconnect with missing family or friends.
Locating missing persons: Assist law enforcement or private searches.
Employee whereabouts: Track down missing employees for business purposes.
Legal proceedings: Locate individuals involved in legal matters.
The more information available, the more efficient the investigation will be. Typically, a full name and any known details, such as date of birth, previous addresses, workplaces, phone numbers, or social media profiles, can assist in locating the individual.
We combine human expertise with advanced AI to ensure a thorough investigation. Our analysts use cutting-edge technology to uncover critical insights that automated systems or analysts alone might miss, providing a comprehensive and accurate risk assessment.
Person trace investigations rely on verified data sources, digital footprint analysis, and intelligence assessment. While results depend on the available information and the individual’s online and public record presence, our process is designed to identify the most reliable location indicators possible.
Our investigations include searching for aliases, name variations, and alternative identities that may be linked to the individual. This helps identify individuals who may have changed names or use different identities across records.
Yes. We adhere to all legal standards and conduct our checks with the utmost respect for client confidentiality. All processes are overseen to ensure they meet the highest ethical standards, guided by our Data Ethics principles and a dedicated focus on privacy and responsible data use.
Yes. Person trace investigations can be conducted across multiple jurisdictions using global databases and digital footprint analysis to identify location indicators outside the client’s country.
In some cases, individuals may leave very limited traceable information. Even when a precise location cannot be confirmed, the investigation can still uncover useful intelligence such as previous locations, associated individuals, or potential leads for further investigation.
