Hire Tracing Agents in the UK

Looking to trace a person in the UK? Whether you’re trying to reconnect with a missing relative, locate someone for legal reasons, or need to trace someone from a phone number or last known address, our expert team of UK tracing agents can help. We use proven investigative techniques — not outdated public records or instant search tools — to locate individuals accurately and discreetly.
Why Choose Real Investigators Over Automated People Search Sites?
Many websites offering "find a person in the UK" services simply provide generic information pulled from old public databases. That’s not how we operate. Our UK tracing services are handled by experienced investigators who look at your case personally. We use a combination of open-source intelligence (OSINT), verified data sources, and real-world enquiries to deliver results that bots can’t.
Common Reasons People Use Our Tracing Services
- To trace someone from their phone number or an old mobile
- To locate someone from a previous address, even if it’s years old

- To confirm someone’s location for legal proceedings
- To verify the identity of someone met online or involved in a romance scam

Can You Trace Someone with Just a Phone Number?
Yes — depending on the type of number and any supporting context, we can often trace a person in the UK using a phone number alone. It helps if you can tell us where and when the number was active, whether it’s still in use, and any names linked to it.
What About Tracing Someone from an Old Address?
Absolutely. We frequently trace individuals from outdated address details. If you have the postcode, street name, or even just a rough location, we’ll investigate whether they’ve moved, where to, and how recently.
What Information Helps Us Trace Someone?
You don’t need a full dossier — we can start from surprisingly little. But here’s what helps us build a strong trace:
- Full name (or part of it)
- Phone number (mobile or landline)
- Last known address
- Previous employers or workplace info
- Social media handles or profile links
- Photos, if available
Don’t worry if you only have one or two bits — part of our job is filling in the blanks.
