When an address is outdated, a defendant has gone dark, or a witness has vanished — our skip tracing team locates them. We search proprietary databases, public records, and verified sources to deliver a current, actionable address. Fast, thorough, and documented.
"Defendant had been avoiding service for six months. We gave Served 123 the name and last known address. They had a verified current address back to us in less than 24 hours. Served the next morning."
Skip tracing is the process of locating a person who has moved, is avoiding contact, or whose current whereabouts are unknown. The term comes from the phrase "skipped town" — and the work involves systematically tracing the data trail a person inevitably leaves behind.
Consumer-grade people-search tools find the same stale records that are already in your file. Professional skip tracing accesses a fundamentally different tier of data — proprietary databases aggregating credit header information, utility activations, vehicle registrations, employment verifications, and dozens of other real-time sources that are not publicly accessible.
At Served 123 LLC, we don't just return a list of possible addresses. We verify results and deliver a confirmed current location — along with supporting documentation showing the basis for our conclusion. That's the difference between a lead and an actionable address you can act on immediately.
Once we have a verified address, we can transition directly to service of process — one team handles the full engagement from location through served affidavit, with no handoff delays.
We access credit header data, utility activations, and real-time commercial databases unavailable to the public or standard people-search tools.
We don't just flag possible addresses — we verify the subject is currently at the location before it's returned to you.
Results come with a detailed written report documenting sources, search methodology, and findings — suitable for your file and admissible in court proceedings.
Once the address is confirmed, we dispatch a local process server immediately — no separate engagement, no delays, one continuous workflow.
The difference between a professional skip trace and a consumer search is the quality and recency of the underlying data. We access sources that aren't available anywhere else — and we don't stop at an address. We verify it.
We search data sources unavailable to the public — credit headers, utility records, vehicle registrations, employment data. Real-time, not stale cached records.
We don't dump a list of possible addresses on you. We verify the subject is at the location before it leaves our office.
Most searches completed within 24–48 hours. Rush processing available for urgent matters — call us to confirm your timeline.
Skip tracing and service of process under one roof. Once we find them, we serve them — same team, no handoffs, no delays.
Every search comes with a written report detailing methodology and sources. Documented for your file and usable in court.
We are accredited members of the National Association of Professional Process Servers — the recognized standard of excellence in our industry.
Here's exactly what happens from the moment you submit a skip tracing request to delivery of a confirmed, actionable address.
Send us the subject's name, last known address, date of birth, and any other identifying information. The more we have, the faster we work — but we've started with less.
Our team runs the subject through proprietary databases, cross-references multiple sources, and follows the data trail — utility activations, vehicle records, employment data, and more.
We don't return possibilities. We verify the subject is currently associated with the address before we report it — so you're acting on confirmed intelligence, not a guess.
You receive a full documented report with the verified address and findings. If you need service of process, we dispatch a local licensed server immediately — no separate call needed.
Skip tracing involves tools and methods that aren't widely understood. Here are the questions we hear most often, answered directly.
"Defendant had been avoiding service for six months across three different addresses. We gave Served 123 everything we had. They had a verified current address back to us in under 24 hours. Served the next morning. Case back on track."
"We use Served 123 for all our skip traces on judgment debtors. The results are reliable, the turnaround is fast, and the reports are thorough enough to use in court. They've become an essential part of our post-judgment workflow."
"We needed to locate a key witness for a deposition with very little time. Served 123 found her, verified the address, and had her served with the subpoena within 48 hours of our initial call. Professional and completely reliable."
Fill out the form above, call us, or email us directly. Give us the subject's name, last known address, and whatever else you have — we'll take it from there and return a verified, actionable address as quickly as possible.
Skip tracing is the professional practice of locating individuals whose current whereabouts are unknown — people who have moved without notice, are actively avoiding contact, or cannot be found through conventional means. The term originates from the phrase "skipped town," and the process involves systematically following the data trail that every person leaves behind through their financial, legal, and everyday activities.
Served 123 LLC provides professional skip tracing services for law firms, corporate legal departments, paralegals, debt recovery professionals, insurance companies, and process servers throughout the United States. Our team accesses proprietary databases and data sources that are not available through public search engines or consumer-grade people-finder websites — including credit header information, utility activation records, vehicle registration data, and real-time commercial aggregators that update continuously.
We locate a wide range of subjects, including evasive defendants, missing witnesses, judgment debtors, missing heirs, former employees, business principals, and insurance claimants. Every search is conducted for a permissible purpose under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and applicable state laws, and every result is verified before being returned to the client.
What distinguishes professional skip tracing from consumer searches is not just the quality of the data, but the verification process. We don't return a list of possible addresses — we verify that the subject is currently associated with the location before delivering our report. This means you're acting on confirmed intelligence rather than a lead that may be months or years out of date.
Every skip tracing engagement includes a detailed written report documenting the search methodology, data sources consulted, and findings. This documentation is suitable for inclusion in your legal file and, where relevant, for use in court proceedings to demonstrate due diligence in locating a party.
One of our most significant advantages is the ability to transition directly from skip tracing to service of process — the same team that locates your subject can serve them immediately without a separate engagement or handoff delay. To submit a request, fill out the form above or contact us at 1-800-321-2377 or info@served123.com. Most searches are completed within 24–48 hours. Rush processing is available.
