Normally most people tracing cases are returned via email within 7 days with a full trace report which will include the current address of the subject. The maximum time for a people trace to be completed is 30 working days.
Where a trace takes over 7 days it just means we are having to use more forensic in depth people tracing techniques to locate the subject. In these circumstances utilising just data sources, such as credit agency data, is not sufficient in your people trace case.

What are tracing agents?
🕵️ Private investigators but different!
UK tracing agents are individuals or organisations that specialise in locating hard-to-find people. They use techniques like searching Credit Agency data, specialist tracing datasets, public records, social media, contacting associates, and collaborating with other tracing agencies or private investigators to trace individuals.
They must comply with legal and ethical guidelines, such as the GDPR, to respect privacy rights during the process.
Find UK People is a respected UK tracing agent known for their experience, legal compliance, reliability, confidentiality, positive feedback, and comprehensive range of people tracing services.
How do tracing agents work?
💻 Online research experts!
Tracing agents merge online research, credit agency data, and behavioural insights to locate individuals. They efficiently sift through public and private databases, including social media and registries, collecting key ‘data points’ to form a comprehensive profile.
Crucially, they leverage data from credit reference agencies (CRAs) – Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. These agencies accumulate extensive data about individuals’ credit histories, including their associated addresses, providing invaluable leads.
When an individual applies for credit, lenders send their details to a CRA. The CRA responds with the person’s credit history, including past and current addresses, establishing an address chain. Tracing agents or a private investigator, with proper authorisation, can access this data to trace an individual’s movements and potentially identify their current address.
However, determining the current address isn’t always easy, as data might reveal multiple recent addresses or no recent credit application. In such instances, tracing agents use their expertise to interpret the information, looking for patterns based on address recency and frequency.
The use of CRA data by tracing agents is regulated by UK data protection laws, ensuring responsible handling of personal information. It’s worth noting that while CRAs offer valuable data, not all individuals will have a substantial credit history. Hence, any address obtained from a CRA link must be substantially verified to validate the address and its residency by the subject of the trace.
Do you offer refunds?
💸 Only if we can’t locate someone!
We will only refund a case prior to supply (or consent request stage in family or friend tracing cases) of our report if we cannot confidently supply the requested information. Once a report is supplied, it is non refundable and supplied as a full and final.
IMPORTANT
- All services and cases by Find UK People (‘The Company’) are provided based on available third party data, with no refund or financial guarantee, expressed or implied.
- The Company may retrace an address tracing case at its sole discretion, but does not warrant absolute correctness.
- Potential rechecks of cases are at the Company’s discretion with no guarantees of refund, irrespective of the report’s contents or disputes raised.
- By using our services, you agree to these terms, waiving claims for refunds or financial reparations.
These terms are subject to UK laws and jurisdiction and also subject to our full terms of service.
Why people use tracing agents?
🕵️♀️ To find the elusive!
People enlist the services of tracing agents in the UK primarily to find individuals who have become difficult to locate, but their abilities extend beyond just person-finding. Tracing agents have the expertise to locate assets, both tangible and intangible. Tangible assets can include physical properties and occasionally vehicles, while intangible assets often refer to financial holdings such as investments. These skills are especially valuable when trying to recover debts or in divorce cases where a spouse is suspected of concealing assets.
Various circumstances might warrant the need for a tracing agent’s services. These range from enforcing a legal judgment, recouping a debt, to reconnecting with estranged family members. In any of these situations, it’s imperative to ensure the tracing agent hired is reliable and operates within the confines of UK privacy laws.
The cost associated with hiring a tracing agent can fluctuate widely, influenced by factors such as the intricacy of the case, the amount of work required, and the standing of the individual agent or agency. Payment structures differ among agents – some operate on a ‘no success, no fee’ policy, whereas others might charge a fixed fee or an hourly rate.
Tracing agents in the UK are seasoned investigators who play a crucial role in tracing elusive individuals and assets. They navigate through the labyrinth of stringent privacy laws and the intricacies inherent in their work, yet their skills remain in high demand due to their unique ability to solve complex problems and uncover hidden information in diverse circumstances.
What is a people tracing service?

A people tracing service in the UK refers to a specialised service or company that helps locate individuals who are difficult to find. These tracing services are often utilised by various entities, including legal firms, debt collection agencies, and individuals looking to reconnect with lost contacts.
People tracing services employ a range of techniques and access various databases to gather information about the person being traced. This can include searching Credit agency data via address links, specialist tracing software, public records, electoral rolls, social media platforms, and other online sources.
The primary goal of a people tracing service is to provide accurate and up-to-date residential address information about the whereabouts of the individual being traced. It is important to note that these services must adhere to legal and ethical guidelines, including GDPR & data protection regulations, to ensure privacy rights are respected during the tracing process.

Can we trace family or friends?
👪 The Family reconnection experts!
Yes you can but the process is slightly different for everyones protection.
The following process only applies to family, friend or ex partner tracing.
As Find UK People, a leading people tracing agency in the UK, we take data protection and privacy very seriously. It’s essential for us to adhere to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which provides individuals with significant control over their personal data. This section outlines the reasoning behind our need to obtain consent when carrying out a family or friend trace – this does not apply to other trace types.
In accordance with the GDPR, we can only process personal data when it’s legally permissible to do so, and there are stringent conditions that we must meet. One of these conditions is the individual’s explicit consent. We require consent in instances of family or friend tracing to ensure that we respect and protect the rights and freedoms of the individual being traced.
It’s crucial to note that even though you may be looking for a friend or family member with good intentions, we cannot assume this on behalf of the person being traced. Everyone has a right to privacy and this includes the right to decide who they want to be in contact with. Therefore, to ensure we respect these rights, we must obtain explicit consent from the individual being traced before releasing their personal information.
This policy not only safeguards the individual’s privacy rights but also helps us maintain our commitment to ethical data handling practices and compliance with GDPR regulations. If we were to process personal data without obtaining proper consent, it would result in a breach of the GDPR, leading to potential fines and reputational damage.
We understand that this requirement may cause frustration for those seeking to reconnect with loved ones. However, our primary responsibility is to ensure that we operate within the legal boundaries set by GDPR and respect the rights of all individuals involved in our tracing processes.
Remember, trust and integrity are paramount to us at Find UK People. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation with our privacy policy. If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact us.
