In this article: Skip tracing is the process of finding a current address for someone who has moved or is hard to locate. Ohio Security & Investigations combines skip tracing and process serving in one Youngstown office.
A summons cannot be served if no one knows where the defendant lives. Old addresses from leases, loan files, or court records often lead to empty houses. Skip tracing closes that gap by finding a current, verified location before a server ever knocks on a door.
What Skip Tracing Involves
Skip tracing uses lawful sources such as public records, court filings, property and vehicle records, professional databases, and field verification. The goal is a current residence or workplace that can be confirmed before service is attempted.
Why One Firm Is Better Than Two
Many process serving companies stop when an address is bad and return the papers as non service. Because Ohio Security & Investigations is also a private investigation agency, we can move straight from a failed attempt to locating the person, which saves time and avoids handing your case to someone new.
Verification Before Attempts
A new address is only useful if it is accurate. We confirm details through field checks, neighbor canvassing when appropriate, and observation of vehicles and activity so your server is sent to the right place.
