Person Tracing in the United Kingdom

Person Tracing in the United Kingdom by Titan Investigations

Titan Investigations has the resources to trace anybody within the UK to their current address under the correct circumstances. Titan is an established, long-standing company who operates with Professionalism, Integrity, Discretion and Trust. We have nine offices from London to Manchester, giving us a national reach.

The person tracing process generally takes no longer than 24 hours and is based on a no trace no fee basis. So, although the customer pays in full for the trace, in the unlikely event that an individual is not traced, we will provide a full refund, no questions asked. Titan has a 99% success rate on person traces.

I hear you ask how much does a trace cost! Tracing costs £300+VAT (£360).

Who may require this service?

There are many reasons why an individual may wish to legally trace a person to an address.

• For the service of legal documents,
• Tracing a debtor.
• Tracing a family member.
• Tracing a long-lost friend.
• Tracing a biological parent.
• Tracing a former parent,
• Tracing a rogue trades person.

What we will not do is to trace a person for illegitimate or illegal reasons. All traces are taken on an individual basis and are required to satisfy our vetting procedures.

What information is required for a person trace?

We will require the individual’s christian name, surname and their age or date of birth. Additional information which is of help is;

• Last known address.
• Mobile telephone number.
• Aliases.
• Any other information that you feel may be of interest.

An example of a more in depth trace that we agreed to take on is outlined below.

We were recently contacted by a client to trace his son who was adopted 40 years ago. He had contacted the adoption authorities to try and ascertain this information. However, due to various protection laws, regulations and policies to protect an adopted child, this came to a grinding halt. The client then spent over a year developing his son’s movements within the UK with the intention of identifying an address to send a letter to or a telephone number to speak to him. There was no data beyond 2004/2005, leading him to believe it was possible that his son was deceased. 

Desperate and needing answers, the client rang Titan Investigations. We set to work straight away, meticulously plotting previous addresses he had lived at and with whom. All social media platforms were checked with a negative result. As the client had found, all information stopped in 2004/2005. There was no marriage registered prior to this date and no death registered. However, we did trace a female who lived with him before he disappeared from our databases.

Through the power of social media, we were able to locate the female on Facebook, which showed she resided in Australia. We immediately contacted our tracing agent in Australia and passed on all the information we had uncovered. Within 24 hours of instructing our Australian counterpart, they had located the client’s son and got a landline number. In line with Australian privacy laws, we couldn’t pass the address on to our client without the permission of the son. All hinged on how we made the approach. All of this work could be for nothing if we say the wrong thing. 

After liaising with the client, we prepared a narrative and rang the son, sticking to the script. The son provided his permission and stated that he had written to his father when he was 14 requesting to make contact. This was never received. What a great outcome and hopefully they can discuss historic decisions and have a relationship once again.
