Skip Tracing and Address Verification Before Service in Central Ohio

wpusername1185Service of Process

In this article: Skip tracing finds a current address for a defendant who has moved. Verifying that address before service saves time and money, and 10-8 Protective Services LLC can locate and serve in one assignment.

An outdated address is the most common reason service fails. Leases end, people move in with family, and records lag behind. Skip tracing and address verification help Columbus attorneys, lenders, and landlords send a process server to the right place from the start.

How Skip Tracing Works

Skip tracing uses lawful sources such as public records, court dockets, property records, professional databases, and social media to identify where a person is likely living or working. The results are then checked in the field.

Verification Saves Attempts

A quick field check can confirm whether the defendant still lives at an address, whether a new tenant has moved in, or whether the property is vacant. That information prevents wasted attempts and gives your attorney a clearer record.

Locate and Serve Together

When an attempt reveals that the defendant has moved, we can shift straight into locating a new address and continue service without restarting the assignment. You receive updates throughout so you can approve any added work.
