Missing Persons Investigations

Professional tracing services to locate individuals through lawful, ethical enquiries across the UK

What Is Missing Persons Investigation?

Missing persons investigation—also known as people tracing—involves locating individuals whose current whereabouts are unknown to those seeking them. This may include family members who have lost contact, beneficiaries of estates, debtors avoiding obligations, or individuals needed for legal proceedings. Our investigators use lawful methods including public records research, open-source enquiries, and discreet field work to establish current addresses and contact details.

Who This Service Is For

This service is available to individuals seeking to reconnect with family members, solicitors requiring service of legal documents, executors and administrators tracing estate beneficiaries, creditors seeking debtors for lawful recovery, and businesses locating former employees or directors. We do not undertake tracing for purposes that are unlawful, harassing, or intended to cause harm. All instructions are screened for legitimacy.

What This Service Covers

  • Family reunion and estranged relative tracing
  • Birth parent and adoption-related searches
  • Estate beneficiary and heir location
  • Debtor tracing for lawful debt recovery
  • Witness location for legal proceedings
  • Former employee or director tracing
  • Address verification and confirmation
  • International tracing enquiries (selected jurisdictions)

Legal and Compliance Context

All tracing activities are conducted in compliance with UK law, including the Data Protection Act 2018, UK GDPR, and the Protection from Harassment Act 1997. We access only lawfully available sources and do not engage in methods that breach privacy law or cause harassment.

Where a traced individual indicates they do not wish contact, we handle this sensitively—informing the instructing party of the outcome without facilitating unwanted contact. For adoption-related searches, we follow established protocols respecting the wishes of all parties.

How the Service Is Delivered

Tracing begins with a consultation to gather all available information about the subject and understand the purpose of the search. We assess the legitimacy of the request before accepting instructions. Research is then conducted using appropriate databases, public records, open-source intelligence, and where necessary, discreet field enquiries. Progress updates are provided, and upon successful location, we provide verified contact details or facilitate initial contact as appropriate to the circumstances.
