Led by a Former U.S. Secret Service Agent

Licensed Investigators. Documented Results.

Skip tracing is the search for someone who cannot be found through a normal address lookup, a debtor who stopped answering, an heir who moved without a forwarding address, a witness who is avoiding service, or a family member who lost touch. Our investigations division is led by a former U.S. Secret Service Agent, and our investigators average 22 or more years of real law-enforcement experience. We use the same disciplined research process on every case, and we tell clients upfront when a trail runs cold rather than stretch out billable hours.

Every trace starts with what you already have, a name, a Social Security number, a last known address, an employer, a vehicle, a relative. From there we work licensed public and private records, cross-reference aliases and associated addresses, and confirm what the databases suggest with actual fieldwork, a drive-by, a neighbor conversation, a workplace verification. A database hit is a lead, not a location. We only report an address as confirmed once someone has verified it in person or through a source we trust.

What We Cover

What Our Skip Tracing Covers

Every trace is built around who you are looking for and why.

01

Debtor and Judgment-Debtor Location

Locate individuals or business owners who owe a judgment, a personal loan, or an unpaid account, with a verified current address for service or collection follow-up.

02

Missing and Estranged Family Members

Reconnect with a parent, sibling, or adult child who has lost touch, handled discreetly and with respect for the person being located.

03

Witness and Process-Serving Location

Find a witness who has changed addresses, or confirm a current address before a process server is sent, so service does not fail twice.

04

Heir and Beneficiary Searches

Locate missing heirs and beneficiaries for estate attorneys and executors working through probate.

05

Tenant and Landlord-Debt Location

Find a former tenant who left owing rent or damages, with a verified address landlords and property managers can act on.

06

Pre-Litigation Address Verification

Confirm a defendant's current address before filing, so a case does not stall on bad service the way it would with a stale address.

The Process

How a Skip Trace Works

Same disciplined process on every case, scaled to how cold the trail is.

1
Intake: What You Already Know

We start with every identifying detail available, full name, date of birth, Social Security number if you have it, last known address, employer, relatives, and any aliases. The more you give us, the faster the trace moves.

2
Licensed Records Research

Our investigators run the name through licensed public and proprietary databases, cross-referencing property records, court filings, utility connections, and known associates to build a list of possible current addresses.

3
Field Verification

A database result is a lead, not a confirmed location. We verify the strongest lead in person, on foot or through direct contact with a source, before we report it to you as current.

4
Report and Next Steps

You receive a written report with the confirmed address and how it was verified. If the person is being located for service or collection, we can coordinate directly with your attorney or process server.

Confidential From the First Call

Licensed, Discreet, and Documented Every Step.

Discretion is foundational to every assignment. Our investigations division is led by a former U.S. Secret Service Agent, and our investigators average 22 or more years of real law-enforcement experience. We do not take every case, if a matter is outside what a licensed investigation should touch, we say so before you pay for it.

"I have used Sempre Secure for security and gate management at my music festival for the past 3 years. Without exception, every officer has been meticulous, utterly trustworthy, and prompt. Each of them has blended in to the event, put me at ease, and best of all, maintained a sense of humor. These guys are the real deal, and the best at what they do!"

"I recently hired Semper Secure to assist with a large event of over 600 guests and could not be happier with their team and how things went! Mike, Mike and Frank were the onsite team and went above and beyond - resolving issues that me and my team didnt event know about. I will absolutely be hiring Semper again for future events!"

"Semper Secure was hired to provide security for certain events at our fieldhouse and community center in South Camden. They did a great job. The guards were professional and friendly, contributing to an atmosphere of safety and family fun. We will absolutely use them in the future and recommend them to guests looking to rent our facilities."

FAQs

Skip Tracing FAQs

Quick answers to the questions security buyers ask most.

01What information do you need to start a skip trace?
The more the better: full legal name, date of birth, last known address, Social Security number if available, known relatives, and employer history. A case with only a name and a common surname takes longer and costs more to run down than one with a Social Security number or a recent address.
02How long does a skip trace take?
Straightforward cases with a recent address or Social Security number are often resolved within days. Cases involving someone actively avoiding contact, or with very little starting information, take longer. We give you a realistic estimate after reviewing what you have.
03Can you guarantee you will find the person?
No investigator can honestly promise that. Some people cannot be located with the information available, and we will tell you that directly rather than keep billing on a dead trail. What we can promise is a licensed, methodical process and straight answers along the way.
04Is the address you provide verified, not just a database guess?
Yes. A database match is treated as a lead. We confirm the strongest lead through field verification before reporting an address as current.
05Can you serve papers once you locate someone?
We coordinate directly with your attorney or a licensed process server once a current address is confirmed. Skip tracing and process serving are handled as separate, coordinated steps.
06Do you handle skip tracing for individuals, not just attorneys or businesses?
Yes. We work with attorneys, collection agencies, and property managers, and with individuals trying to locate a family member or resolve a personal matter.
07Are your skip tracing investigators licensed?
Yes, NJ PI License #10077, with our investigations division led by a former U.S. Secret Service Agent and staffed by investigators averaging 22 or more years of law-enforcement experience.
08What areas do you cover for skip tracing?
All 21 New Jersey counties and the Philadelphia metro region, with multi-state coordination available through licensed investigators in other jurisdictions when a trail crosses state lines.
