Skip Tracing – Locating People and Assets

Skip tracing is the process of locating a person who has "skipped" (moved away from) their last known address, often to avoid legal proceedings, debt collection, or other obligations. The term comes from the idea of tracing someone who has "skipped town".

When is Skip Tracing Required?

Skip tracing is required when:

• A respondent cannot be located for service of legal documents
• A debtor has moved without providing a forwarding address
• A witness needs to be located for legal proceedings
• A missing person needs to be found
• An asset needs to be located for enforcement purposes

How Citiserve Conducts Skip Tracing

Citiserve uses a combination of database searches, field enquiries, and investigative techniques to locate missing persons:

• Electoral roll and government database searches
• ASIC and land title searches
• Social media investigation
• Credit bureau searches
• Field enquiries at last known addresses
• Network enquiries through known associates
• Surveillance where appropriate

Asset Tracing

In addition to locating persons, Citiserve can assist with locating assets for enforcement purposes — including real property, vehicles, and business interests.
