Locating people
Locating people
A wanted person's current address or contact may be needed to exercise a right. We obtain it through open sources, field verification and legal channels.
How does locating people work?
We start with the name, old address, circle details and dates you hold. We look for consistent traces in open sources and public records, then verify them in the field. Confidential records such as banking, call records, civil registry and land registry are not queried unlawfully; if needed they are requested through your lawyer and the court.
The information found is assessed together with a document confirming your entitlement. Where necessary the address is made available not directly to you but through a lawyer or the court.
Whom do we not search for?
We do not search for people fleeing violence, needing to hide, or who have clearly said they do not want contact with you. You must show a legitimate reason and entitlement to locate someone.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can you definitely find a person?
We cannot guarantee it; some people leave no traceable trail. Findability depends on the information you hold and the person's digital and physical trail. We assess the likelihood honestly in the first call.
Will you give me the address?
We verify your entitlement; in cases with a risk to life or safety we do not share the address directly. It is used through the court or your lawyer.
