Who We Locate

People need someone found for many reasons, including:

  • A family member you have lost touch with

  • An old friend you need to reach

  • A debtor who has moved or stopped responding

  • A witness needed for a legal matter

  • A former tenant or employee

  • Someone evading contact in a personal or business dispute

If you are not sure whether a locate is the right tool for your situation, ask — you will get a straight answer about whether we can help.

How a Locate Works

Purpose and intake. The search starts with the details you already have — a full name, a date of birth if you know it, a last known address, a phone number, an employer, names of relatives. Even partial information can be enough to start.

Research. Using licensed databases, public records, and sources available in Canada such as credit bureau information and social media, we build leads on where the person is now.

Verification. Leads are tested, not assumed. What gets reported to you is verified information — not a list of possible matches.

Your report. You receive the located information and a clear summary of what was confirmed, what remains unconfirmed, and the searches performed.
