UK Private Investigators
Our UK tracing agency service offers unparalleled access to our advanced person trace service, reporting a 98% success rate on discovering the most recent address for all trace inquiries or reverse phone lookup.
Unlike the majority of so-called people tracing companies, our tracing service does not simply rely on voting data, which can often be extremely out of date, simply listing a last known address. Instead, we utilise some of the most accurate sources available, which will give you the person’s current or new address – even if the person has only recently moved into a property.
Discover A Missing Person
Finding a missing person is a challenging task we are often faced with. At UKPI we use our own tools, in-house resources, cutting-edge software, access to multiple non-public sources, and discreet enquiries to ensure our clients receive reliable results, like the current address of the individual they are seeking!

We can do more than find a person’s address using their telephone number. In addition to providing their name and address, we also include other information free of charge.
TRACE A PERSON BY NAME
Trying to find a person with only limited information can seem like a huge task, but with the right tools and techniques, you should find what you’re looking for. Of course, the best and easiest way to find a person, old friend, or estranged family member is to hire the services of an experienced UK tracing agent.
Knowing a few bits of information about the person you are searching for can ensure that we quickly trace the person. To kickstart our people tracing efforts, the information supplied should include the following:
- Their full name, any nicknames they go by or married names they use
- Their date of birth or at least their age if you don’t know the full date of birth
- Any previous addresses that might be associated with them, even if not their current address
- Do they have a family – are they married, or do they have children?
- What business do they work for, or which industry are they known for working in?
- Any email addresses or phone numbers you have for them
- Any other key pieces of information, such as if they play for a local football team or won a sports tournament
HOW WE TRACE A PERSON
Using online resources like internet search engines can be a useful starting point to help you find a person. If you search for the full name of the person you are looking for, try to see if any of the search results or news articles come up with similarities to the information you already know about them.
For example, if you know that your missing person worked as a roofing contractor and “John Smith roofing services” comes up, it could well be the same person. You can perform similar online searches using social media profiles too.
The electoral roll is free to check through your local borough. The version available to the public does not have the full details of every single person, as the full version is only available to the government. The free edited version may have some useful information within it though.
Finding the right person on your own can be time-consuming. If the methods above are not fruitful, we suggest that you pass your search on to our professional people tracer team.
UK Private Investigators have access to the right tools and numerous private databases, enabling us to find people using very minimal information. We can trace a person by address, trace a person using mobile numbers, or even using just a name. Get in touch with our team today to start finding that missing person!
Process of tracing a person
UK Private Investigators have the ability to find people with just a few pieces of information supplied – but it takes skill and experience. We can get started by using only a name, or if you have more specific information, it can give us some additional leads as to where someone might be located. There are several ways in which we can trace a person, but some of the most common include:
- Checking electoral roll data
- Conducting detailed searches of non-public information
- Searching through social media platforms
- Investigating prior addresses, telephone numbers and other data sources
Once we have the relevant information, our team of experienced private detectives will begin carrying out the necessary searches using our own in-house tools and software in addition to other techniques to find a long-lost friend, a family member you lost contact with, or whoever else you are looking for. When looking for someone, we always work with a focus on speed and accuracy so that you can get the answers you need as quickly as possible.
Prices of tracing a person
The costs for finding people can vary depending on the complexity of the case and the amount of work that needs to be carried out by our investigators. We can usually trace someone within a 24-hour period.
We always endeavour to provide a competitive price and will always offer an initial consultation where we can begin gathering the information required for your case. This can be face-to-face, via email, or telephone.
We have extensive experience in private detective work, and have great success in locating people, tracing people and finding missing people. We are committed to providing a first class service combined with value for money for our clients.
Use our numerous databases and expert techniques to find who you’re looking for. Get in touch today to discuss how quickly we can start tracing someone in the UK or abroad.

Tracing a person v finding a person
These terms may sound the same, but their meanings, in our investigative world anyway, are slightly different. For us, tracing a person involves gathering information and clues about their whereabouts or background, often through records, social media, or other leads. It’s about following a trail. Finding a person, however, is the process of locating their current physical location or contact information. It focuses more on directly reaching or connecting with the person.
In short, tracing is about collecting information, while finding is about pinpointing the person’s location or contact.
Why would you trace a person?
There are many reasons you might want to trace a person in the UK. These include:
- Debt recovery – someone may owe you money, but you’re struggling to pin them down.
- Legal matters – serving legal documents and tracking down witnesses require up to date contact details.
- Lost contacts – you may yearn to reconnect with old friends or family, but are at a loss as to how to contact them.
- Background checks – for employment and security purposes, finding a person through a background check can shed further light onto a person’s bigger picture.
- Genealogy research – tracing family history or long lost relatives may require you to do some digging on someone.
