Nationwide Due Diligence - Skip Tracing Services

Due diligence search services performed by skip tracers involve verifying a person's identity, background, and current whereabouts to ensure accuracy and legitimacy. These searches often include checking addresses, phone numbers, employment, assets, criminal history, and legal records to support legal, financial, or business decisions.

In the event a person cannot be found through due diligence, the next step is often to request an affidavit of due diligence. This affidavit documents all efforts made to locate the individual.

An Affidavit of Due Diligence

is a sworn legal document used to prove that all reasonable efforts were made to locate and serve a person, typically in legal proceedings. It is usually prepared by a process server, skip tracer, or investigator and submitted to the court when traditional service methods fail.

The due diligence affidavit details the steps taken to find the individual, such as:

  • Ascertaining known addresses
  • Contacting relatives, neighbors, or employers
  • Searching public records and databases
  • Attempting direct contact at various times and days
  • Using online tools or skip tracing resources
  • Search military records
  • Research prison records
  • Obtain DMV records
  • Search civil, criminal and federal court records

    • The purpose of the Affidavit of Due Diligence is to provide a detailed, sworn account demonstrating that all reasonable and good-faith efforts were made to locate and serve the individual. Preparing this affidavit—along with the comprehensive investigative work it entails—requires additional time, resources, and professional engagement. As a result, these services often incur supplemental fees to reflect the depth and diligence of the process.
