Skip Tracing Services in Central Florida
Locate a Better Address and Keep Your Case Moving
When an individual has moved, provided an outdated address, or cannot be located for service, 9th Circuit Process Serving can conduct a professional skip trace to help identify possible current address information.
We assist attorneys, law firms, landlords, property managers, businesses, government agencies, and private parties with lawful location research connected to service of process and legitimate legal matters.

What Is Skip Tracing?
Skip tracing is the process of researching available records and professional data sources to identify possible updated location information for an individual.
This service can be especially helpful when a defendant, tenant, witness, debtor, former employee, property owner, or other party has moved or when the address provided for service appears to be outdated.
Our objective is to provide useful, well-organized information that can help you determine the next appropriate step in your case.
Because records can be incomplete or outdated, no skip trace can guarantee that every individual will be located.

Important information
Lawful and Responsible Use
Skip-tracing services are provided only for legitimate and lawful purposes.
We do not provide surveillance, undercover investigations, tracking devices, access to private accounts, or private-investigator services. We do not assist with stalking, harassment, intimidation, locating someone for an improper personal purpose, or any unlawful activity.
Clients may be required to provide sufficient information about the assignment and certify that the requested research has a permissible purpose.
Skip-trace results are based on available records and data sources. Information may be incomplete, outdated, or associated with another person who has a similar name. Results are not guaranteed and should be independently evaluated before legal or financial decisions are made.
Frequently asked questions
Skip Tracing Questions
The answers below explain what information is helpful, what the research may provide, and the limits of the service.
What information should I provide?
Provide the person’s full legal name and any available identifying details. Helpful information may include a last known address, approximate age, date of birth, previous city, known employer, telephone number, email address, or related case information.
Can you guarantee that the person will be found?
No. Skip tracing increases the likelihood of identifying useful location information, but no service can guarantee a successful result. Some individuals have limited records, recently moved, use incomplete information, or have records that have not yet been updated.
Can you confirm that the person currently lives at the address?
A skip trace may identify a possible current address, but it does not guarantee physical occupancy. A process-service attempt at the address may provide additional information.
Can you serve the legal documents after completing the search?
Yes. When a possible new address is identified, you may authorize us to attempt service there. A separate process-serving fee normally applies to each new service address.
Do you provide private-investigator services?
No. We provide professional skip-trace research and process-serving support. We do not conduct surveillance, undercover investigations, tracking, or other services requiring a private investigator.
Is the information confidential?
We handle client and case information professionally and restrict the use of our service to legitimate assignments. Clients are also responsible for using any information provided in accordance with applicable law.
How quickly are results available?
Turnaround depends on the information supplied, the complexity of the search, and the service level requested. Contact our office for current availability and urgent-request options.
How much does skip tracing cost?
Pricing depends on the type and depth of research required. Contact us for a quote before the search begins.
Need Help Finding a Better Address?
