What a Skip Trace Report Contains
A skip trace report sets out what public records and licensed data sources show about one person in the United States: current and prior addresses with the date range for each, phone numbers, email addresses, and relatives and associates, plus, where the records carry them, property, vehicles, court records such as judgments, liens and bankruptcies, professional licenses and business connections. Anything the records could not confirm is marked as unconfirmed. It does not contain bank balances, account contents or a credit file. It is not a consumer report, so it must not be used to decide credit, employment, insurance or housing.

Note: This is a sample report with fictional data for demonstration purposes only. Actual reports contain the information the records support for your search subject, with anything unconfirmed marked. Data availability varies by subject and jurisdiction.
Understanding Data Availability
Vehicle Records
State motor-vehicle records are used only when your matter supplies a permissible use under the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act (DPPA, 18 U.S.C. § 2721), such as use in a court proceeding or the enforcement of a judgment, and access varies by state. Without one, the report contains no DMV data. If your matter does have one and you want to know what can be checked, tell us about the matter and we will explain which sources apply. When vehicle data from non-DMV sources is included, it may not reflect the subject’s most recent vehicle purchases or registrations. We clearly indicate the source and date of all vehicle data in your report.
Court & Criminal Records
Court records—including civil judgments, evictions, liens, bankruptcies, and criminal history—are available across all 50 states through federal, state, and county court systems.
The only exceptions occur when criminal records have been legally sealed or expunged, typically as part of plea agreements, juvenile adjudications, or successful petitions for record clearance. Our reports reflect the publicly accessible court records we can reach at the time of the search.
Report Length
The depth of each report reflects the subject’s history. A straightforward people search may yield 5-10 pages, while comprehensive background checks on individuals with extensive records can span 20, 30, or even 50+ pages.
Factors that increase report length include multiple addresses across different states, business ownership or corporate affiliations, civil litigation history, and property holdings. Every relevant record we uncover is included at no additional charge.
One starting price regardless of report length. Whether your report is 5 pages or 50+ pages, pricing starts at $129—no hidden fees or per-page charges.
