Research Reports to Process Servers

When you use our service to locate a subject to effect service on that subject, we recommend you provide your process server with a copy of our skip trace report.

Extracting the subject's most recently reported address and providing only that information to a process server reduces the odds of a sucessful serve.  Experienced process servers will glean much  from a skip trace report, which can especially be helpful if a subject is not found during the first attempt of service at the reported address.

If you are concerned about releasing identity information, black out the first five digits of the subject's SSN before releaseing the skip trace report to your process server.

Email Validation

The Email Validation test validates the syntax of the email address and performs a DNS (Domain Name System) query for the domain.  A successful Email Validation test is not an assurance that the subject regularly checks email sent to the email address.

Caller ID / Reverse Caller ID

When you have Caller ID on your phone you see a caller's phone number, and sometimes the caller's name, displayed before you elect to answer a call.

We utilize a method and a system for verifying identity of a phone number subscriber using the subscriber's Caller ID feature.  This is Reverse Caller ID.  For any phone number that has the Caller ID feature we can obtain the Caller ID information.  This system works for landline or cellular numbers, whether listed or non-listed.  The system also reveals whether the subscriber's telephone number is a landline or cellular number, plus the city, state and Zip Code where the landline is located or cellular number was issued.

The Reverse Caller ID method is utilized when an attempt to reverse a phone number produces no listing record.

Change of Address or Boxholder Request Form

For litigation, or intended litigation, use the USPS Change of Address or Boxholder Request Form to learn the physical address of a boxholder or whether a subject who has moved filed a change of address with the post office.

The USPS is not required to only receive this request by mail so you can deliver it to the branch that services the subject's last known address or post office box, and ask that your request be completed while you are at the window.  Or, you can fax it to the branch and request that they fax the completed form back to you (you may need a toll-free fax number if the USPS is to fax it long distance). Should USPS decline any of these services have them produce the postal regulations for any of their 'that's the way we do it' rules.
