Common Questions
Is it legal to locate someone without their knowledge?
Yes. Licensed Virginia PIs may legally locate individuals through public records, OSINT, and field investigation. We operate strictly within Virginia law and DCJS regulations.
What if the person doesn't want to be found?
We locate the individual and provide you with their information. What you do with that information is your decision. We do not make contact on your behalf without your instruction.
How quickly can you locate someone?
Many skip trace cases resolve within 24–72 hours. More complex missing persons cases may take longer depending on available information and subject behavior.
