Services That Can Help
Tips
Gather every clue you have: last address, employer, phone, relatives, social media.
Courts usually require a documented 'diligent search' before allowing alternative service.
If skip tracing finds an address, standard service is faster and cheaper than publication.
First we try to locate them with skip tracing. If they truly can't be found, most states allow 'service by publication' — publishing notice in a newspaper — after you show the court you searched diligently.
