When Skip Tracing May Help

Skip tracing may be useful when:

  • An address is outdated
  • Mail has been returned
  • Prior service attempts were unsuccessful
  • The individual may have moved
  • The person is difficult to locate
  • A better service address is needed before attempts begin

What the Service May Include

RAM’s skip tracing support may include database searches, current-address research, alternative-address searches, and field verification.

Skip tracing is not a guarantee that an individual will be located or served. It is a practical tool that can improve the information available before or during a service assignment.

      Frequently asked questions

      Q: When should I request skip tracing?

      Request skip tracing when the available address is outdated, returned mail suggests a move, or earlier attempts show the person is no longer at the known location.

      What methods are used?

      RAM uses database searches, current-address research, alternative-address searches, and field verification as appropriate.

      Does skip tracing guarantee service?

      No. RAM makes lawful and reasonable efforts but cannot guarantee that an individual will be found or served.

      How do I request a quote?

      Choose your county, service and urgency on Request Service, then send your contact details and relevant documents. Jessica reviews pricing and availability before accepting the assignment.
