People tracing

Effective tracing with limited information

People tracing often begins with desktop searches, using a combination of publicly accessible records, social media, and sophisticated investigative databases to gather information about the individual. This approach is particularly effective when substantial identifiers are available, such as a full name, previous addresses, or date of birth. However, person tracing (also known as skip tracing) can be equally successful with limited information, for example, a partial name and last known general location, which is often all that is available in many cases.

With minimal details, we can still build an accurate trail through careful, methodical research, using open-source intelligence (OSINT) techniques and cross-referencing multiple data points. When digital footprints are limited, we may also conduct discreet human-source intelligence enquiries to confirm residency, uncover identifying information, or trace individuals who are of no fixed address, living a transient lifestyle, or currently incarcerated.

By combining trusted databases, local sources, and targeted investigative techniques, we leave no stone unturned when locating missing persons, debtors, or individuals relevant to legal proceedings, probate cases, or family matters.

Global reach for successful tracing

One of the key strengths of our people tracing service is its geographical reach. Whether the subject is believed to be in the UK or overseas, Satori Intelligence has access to international databases, in-country sources, and the expertise to conduct effective and ethical global tracing investigations.
