Trace A Family Member
If you have lost touch with a family member we can provide a compliant and efficient tracing service nationwide to help you to reconnect with family members that you may have lost touch with.
We will aim to provide you with the current address of the missing family member which will have been verified via multiple information sources.
It is important to note that we may require consent from you and the subject of the search to release their data to you so its important that you select the correct reason for your trace. Once we have located the subject we will contact them to obtain consent for their details to be passed on to you.
The options provided to the family member that you are trying to trace will be as follows.
- Consent to release their information to you
- Consent to pass a letter on from you
- Decline Contact from you
If the subject declines contact from you then our fees will be retained as we have traced the subject but they have declined the release of their data.
If you have the subject’s full name and DOB you can purchase the standard trace. If you do not have the subject’s DOB you will need to purchase the Enhanced Trace.
The following circumstances do not require consent and will override the need for consent to be obtained: Legal claim, Debt claim, Divorce claim, Child Maintenance claim, Probate claim, or for Court purposes. Please ensure that you select the appropriate reason for your trace.
