Digital Trace

A rapid, intelligence-led desktop trace using regulated data and open-source intelligence, typically delivered within 24 hours. It identifies strong address leads where a digital or public footprint exists. As no physical attendance is included, results may indicate a probable address rather than confirmed occupancy.

✓ Each instruction begins with a viability assessment
✓ If no credible lead is found, the trace is discontinued and no fee is charged
✓ A strong address lead is defined as credit reference intelligence plus at least one independent corroborating source
✓ Where identified, full desktop verification is completed and the fixed fee applies

Verified Trace

For matters requiring certainty, this service adds discreet field attendance and enquiries to confirm a current residential address suitable for lawful contact or service. Results are typically provided within three working days.

✓ If an address cannot be verified despite reasonable effort, no tracing fee is charged

Reporting & Escalation

Where traced, clients receive a PDF report containing the following:

✓ Current address
✓ Contact details (where identified)
✓ Verification notes

Instructions can be escalated to field enquiries or process serving if needed.
