How Arcline Intelligence Partners Approaches Skip Tracing
Skip tracing combines database research, records analysis, and field verification to locate a person's current address, employment, or contact information. Arcline investigators use professional-grade search tools well beyond free online lookups, cross-checked against public records for accuracy.
This service supports process serving, debt recovery, witness location for litigation, and personal reconnection cases, always conducted within Tennessee's legal boundaries for locating individuals.
Skip tracing is used for
Locating a subject for process serving
Debt and judgment recovery
Witness location for active litigation
Reconnecting with lost family members
Locating beneficiaries and heirs
Verifying a person's current address
When Skip Tracing Is the Right Tool
These are the most common reasons clients need someone located.
A subject who needs to be served with legal papers
A debtor who has stopped responding or moved without notice
A witness whose current contact information is out of date
A family member you've lost touch with over the years
An heir or beneficiary who needs to be notified
Someone whose current address needs verification before you act
What a Completed Skip Trace Includes
Findings are verified before they're delivered, not just pulled from a database.
Verified Current Address
A confirmed, current location for the subject, not just a last-known address.
Supporting Details
Employment, phone, or associate information relevant to locating or reaching the subject.
Verification Notes
A brief account of how the location was confirmed, for your records.
Our Process
Case Details
We gather everything known about the subject — last known address, relatives, employment.
Database Research
Professional-grade locator databases and public records are cross-referenced.
Field Verification
Leads are verified in the field to confirm current, accurate information.
Location Briefing
You receive a verified current address or contact point, ready to act on.
Why Field Verification Matters
Database results alone are often stale or simply wrong — a person can show up at an address they left years ago. Arcline Intelligence Partners treats every database hit as a lead to verify, not a finished answer.
That verification step is what makes the difference between a skip trace that wastes a process server's time and one that results in successful service on the first attempt.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is skip tracing different from a background check?
A background check builds a history on a known person; skip tracing is specifically focused on finding a current, verified location for someone who's hard to reach.
Can you find someone who's actively avoiding contact?
In most cases, yes — professional databases and field verification techniques go well beyond what a person can block through normal privacy settings.
Do you handle process serving once someone is located?
Yes, located subjects can be handed directly to Delator Field Services, our parent company's dedicated process serving division, for service.
How long does a skip trace typically take?
Straightforward cases are often resolved within a few days; harder-to-locate subjects may take one to two weeks.
What if the subject has multiple possible addresses?
We verify and rank possible addresses by confidence, so whoever acts on the information knows where to start.
Can skip tracing help locate someone who changed their name?
In many cases yes, particularly when other identifying details like date of birth or family connections are known.
