Skip Tracing Services Oakland
Skip tracing involves locating someone whose current whereabouts are currently unknown. The “skip” is the person who needs to be located, and “tracing” involves using a combination of technology tools and investigative skills to find the person. INTERCEPTOR provides skip tracing services for law firms, government agencies, private investigators, debt collectors, and other businesses in Oakland, CA, and the surrounding Bay Area who need assistance locating people.

Skip Tracing Process
When you work with INTERCEPTOR, the skip tracing process starts with an initial consultation. During that discussion, we will seek to gather information that could help us locate the skip person.
Your INTERCEPTOR skip tracer may use various methods to complete the skip trace assignment.
- Research/Database Searches. We may review a variety of public records (such as motor vehicle records, property records, and marriage and divorce records), social media platforms, specialized online databases, credit reports, utility records, and other resources to which we have authorized access as skip tracers.
- On-the-ground investigation. In some cases, it is necessary to conduct surveillance or interview the person’s friends, family members, colleagues, neighbors, or others who may be able to shed light on the skip person’s current location.
Rest assured that we will keep the lines of communication with you open and will report the results of our efforts.
