What is Skip Tracing?
Skip tracing is the process of locating and collecting information on people who owe money that they have failed to repay or who are suspected of owing delinquent debts. Law enforcement officials or private investigators may use skip tracing as a tool in the collection of unpaid judgments or delinquent state and federal taxes.
The process involves, when possible, gathering all available public information on a delinquent debtor, including his or her social security number, address, relatives, former addresses, and legal actions, to gain intelligence about the whereabouts of the debtor. Private investigators will also use other tools to locate a person, such as financial institutions (credit bureaus), law enforcement agencies, and search engines.
However, the term "skip tracing" can also be used to describe a less thorough, more informal investigation. It involves checking newspaper obituaries, public records such as real estate transfer deeds, or conducting Internet searches to locate someone. In this sense, "skip tracing" might be considered an amateur investigation, distinguished from a more formal investigation by attorneys or licensed investigators.
Is skip tracing legal in Canada?
Technically speaking, skip tracing is legal because it’s just like any other routine investigative step involved in locating a missing person or asset.

How does a skip tracer find someone?
For starters, a skip tracer searches the internet, including social network sites, to make contact. Most of the time, people are not aware that they are wanted by the government and other agencies. As a result, we have a better success rate than those who are conducting their searches in person. But there are a number of other things that can happen.
The first step is to locate a person’s last known address or place of work. We usually start the investigation with a company’s HR department and do searches on their computers. If we can’t find any information on them, we will use other means to locate them. Once we have an address for the person, we can conduct surveillance on their home and track down their vehicle if it’s parked outside. In our line of work, it’s always best to be smart about how you conduct business and to be safe when you’re working with unknown people.
