Florida Skip Tracing Guide: How to Locate Someone Quickly and Effectively

If you’re trying to locate someone who has gone missing, cut off contact, or is avoiding detection, skip tracing is your best bet. Whether it’s a debtor, a witness, or a lost family member, time matters—and accuracy is everything.

At Nathans Investigations, we specialize in Florida skip tracing services that are fast, discreet, and legally compliant. This guide walks you through what skip tracing is, how it works, when to use it, and what you can expect when working with us.

What Is Skip Tracing in Florida?

Skip tracing is the process of tracking down individuals who have intentionally or unintentionally become hard to find—also known as a “skip.” These people may have moved without leaving a forwarding address, changed their name, or are avoiding legal or financial obligations.

Skip tracing is commonly used in Florida for:

• Debt collection

• Legal case preparation (witnesses, defendants, etc.)

• Family or heir searches

• Fraud investigations

• Process serving

• Missing persons

While there are DIY methods online, professional skip tracing goes far beyond a quick Google search.

The Nathans Investigations Process: Step-by-Step Skip Tracing

Here’s how our licensed private investigators in Florida handle skip tracing from start to finish:

1. Initial Information Collection

We start by gathering all available details about the person you’re trying to find. Useful information includes:

• Full name and known aliases

• Date of birth

• Last known address or city

• Phone numbers and email addresses

• Social media accounts

• Employment history

• Known relatives or associates

Even small pieces of information can help connect the dots.

2. Accessing Specialized Data Sources

Unlike free online tools, we use licensed, investigator-only databases that provide:

• Utility records

• Vehicle registration and property records

• Credit header data

• Criminal and court filings

• License and business registrations

These resources allow us to dig deeper and verify leads quickly and accurately.

3. Analyzing Digital Footprints

People often leave online clues without realizing it. We comb through:

• Social media posts and location tags

• Blog comments or forum activity

• Job boards or digital portfolios

• Public online records

This digital analysis helps us identify current locations, patterns, or new contacts.

4. Gathering Human Intelligence (HUMINT)

When online research isn’t enough, we discreetly gather firsthand intelligence by contacting:

• Former neighbors or landlords

• Friends or coworkers

• Local businesses or employers

This old-school investigative method often reveals details that databases miss.

5. Surveillance (If Necessary)

If we have a potential location but need confirmation, our investigators may conduct covert surveillance. This step is always conducted legally and ethically to verify someone’s presence without alerting them.

6. Delivering Your Locate Report

Once we confirm a person’s location or status, we compile everything into a detailed skip trace report, which may include:

• Verified current address

• Contact information (when legally permissible)

• Employment or business data

• Vehicle ownership or movement

• Key findings that support legal or personal action

These reports are designed for use by attorneys, families, financial institutions, and others who need solid, actionable information.

When Should You Use Skip Tracing?

You should consider hiring a professional skip tracer in Florida if:

• You need to serve legal documents but can’t locate the individual

• A debtor has vanished without paying

• A witness or defendant is missing ahead of a court date

• You want to reconnect with a family member

• You’re trying to identify heirs in an estate

• You suspect someone is committing fraud or identity theft

Whether it’s a civil, legal, or personal matter—professional skip tracing gives you the edge.
