Skip tracing is the disciplined process of finding a person who is difficult to locate, whether they moved without notice, dropped off the grid, or simply lost touch over the years. The term comes from tracing someone who has "skipped" their last known address, and it is a core skill of professional investigation rather than a lucky guess.
At Orlando Private Investigations, a locate is not a single database lookup. It is a layered investigation that cross-references dozens of data points, resolves conflicts between records, and confirms the result before we ever hand it to a client. The goal is a current, verified location, not a stale address that leads to a dead end.
We begin with the information you already have, even a partial name, an old phone number, a former employer, or a decade-old address. From there our licensed investigators work through proprietary skip-tracing databases, credit-header data, property and court records, utility connections, business filings, voter and DMV-linked records, and other lawful public sources that are not open to the general public.
When the records point somewhere but do not confirm it, we go into the field. That can mean discreet surveillance, neighborhood canvassing, or verifying that a subject genuinely lives and receives mail at an address in Orlando, Winter Park, Kissimmee, Sanford, Lake Nona, or Windermere. Combining data with real-world confirmation is what separates a professional locate from a printout of guesses.
Free "people search" websites recycle outdated, scraped data and bury the current information behind subscription upsells. They cannot tell you which of six addresses is real, they miss anyone who has moved recently, and they routinely confuse people who share a common name. You end up paying with time and knocking on the wrong doors.
Licensed investigators access vetted, permissible-purpose databases that consumer sites cannot legally offer, and we apply human judgment to sort accurate results from noise. Just as important, our findings are documented and courtroom-ready when you need them, so a locate can actually support the legal action behind it.
Locate work is often sensitive, tied to a lawsuit, a debt, a family matter, or a search that stirs up old emotions. Every inquiry to our agency is handled in strict confidence, and details of your case are never shared outside the people who need them to do the work.
As a fully insured Florida agency operating under FDACS Agency License A1800135, we conduct every investigation within the bounds of state and federal law. That protects both your objective and the integrity of any evidence we produce for you.
Our services exist to serve legitimate needs, reuniting families, moving legal matters forward, recovering what a client is lawfully owed, and locating people who genuinely want to be found or must be found for due process. A licensed investigator is not a tool for stalking, harassment, intimidation, or interfering with someone's safety.
If a request appears intended to harm, threaten, or unlawfully pursue another person, we will decline it. That standard is not a limitation on honest clients; it is what makes our work credible and our results usable when it counts.
Tell us who you are trying to find and why, and we will give you a candid read on how likely a successful locate is and what it will take. Because every case is different, we provide a custom quote after a free consultation rather than a one-size-fits-all price.
