Tracing a persons address v finding a persons address
The terms ‘tracing a person’s address’ and ‘finding a person’s address’ do sound similar, we’ll admit, but in truth they often refer to different approaches and purposes in investigative work. Tracing a person’s address is generally a more involved process focused on tracking down a potentially evasive individual. However, finding a person’s address is a simpler verification step, typically used when a person is expected to be reachable and hasn’t concealed their whereabouts.
How we trace a persons address
If you’re wondering how to trace someone by address in the UK and are wondering how private investigators might have more luck than you, it’s through access to databases that are not generally available to the public. By either finding a person’s address, or tracing them using their address, we’re able to return the information you need quickly and, crucially, legally.

What is address tracing?
Address tracing is the process of obtaining a persons current residential address for the purpose of enforcing a debt or getting in touch with an old friend, family member or someone else. We are generally supplied with a name and other details concerning the person. We will then use these details to confirm the person’s current address. In addition to the person’s address, we can usually supply contact numbers, email addresses and other useful information

Some of our Private investigator services
Why would you trace a persons address?
There are many reasons why you may need to track down someone’s residence. These include but are not limited to:
Debt recovery and collection
You may need to trace a person’s address to locate someone who owes you money. Unfortunately, it’s often the case that debtors become unreachable by moving without updating their contact information, so address tracing becomes a necessity.
Locating tenants who have not paid their rent and/or left damage
Landlords or property managers may use address tracing to find former tenants who have left behind unpaid rent, fees, or property damages. Pursuing compensation or even legal action is pretty tricky without a current address.
Reconnecting with family members or friends
Losing contact with family members, old friends, or distant relatives is more common than you might think, and address tracing can help re-establish these treasured connections.
Serving legal documents
In legal proceedings, it is essential to serve documents to the person’s current address to ensure they are notified of court actions. This includes divorce papers, custody cases, summonses, or court orders.
Conducting background checks for jobs or tenancies
Confirming the address history of potential employees or tenants is a pretty crucial element of background checks for employers and landlords alike.
Finding beneficiaries for estates and wills
Often, beneficiaries are unaware of their inheritance, or may have moved since the will was written; executors and solicitors may therefore need to find their current address to inform them.
