If you need to trace someone for a lawful private, legal, or commercial reason, INSIGNIS Investigations provides professional people tracing services in Manchester and across the UK. We assist clients seeking to locate individuals such as former tenants, debtors, family members, witnesses, or other persons they have lost contact with.
Tracing enquiries are often sensitive and require a careful, professional approach. At INSIGNIS Investigations, we use lawful and proportionate methods to gather and assess information, helping clients establish a current address or verified location where possible. Every enquiry is handled discreetly, with due regard to privacy, data protection, and the specific circumstances of the case.
We work with private individuals, solicitors, insurers, landlords, and businesses who have a legitimate reason to trace a person. Whether the matter is personal, legal, or commercial, our role is to provide a confidential and reliable tracing service supported by sound investigative practice.
Basic Trace
A Basic Trace is a desktop-based tracing service designed to establish a current address or verified location using lawful and appropriate data sources. This type of enquiry involves reviewing and cross-referencing available information to build the clearest possible picture from office-based research.
Where suitable, findings are compiled into a clear written report and provided by email. In many cases, a Basic Trace can provide a cost-effective starting point for straightforward UK tracing enquiries.
This option is typically suitable where there is already some supporting information available and the subject is believed to be residing within the UK.
Enhanced Trace
An Enhanced Trace is a more in-depth tracing service used where desktop research alone is unlikely to be sufficient. In these cases, further investigative work may be required to verify information, resolve inconsistencies, or progress more difficult tracing enquiries.
This may involve discreet local enquiries and additional investigative steps where lawful, necessary, and proportionate. Enhanced Traces are often appropriate in more complex cases where an address cannot be reliably identified or confirmed through initial checks alone. As this is a more detailed form of tracing work, turnaround times will depend on the circumstances of the case and the level of investigation required.

People Tracing Frequently Asked Questions
People tracing services use lawful and proportionate investigative methods to help establish a current address or verified location for an individual. Depending on the circumstances, this may involve desktop-based research, cross-referencing available information, open-source intelligence, and, where appropriate, more detailed investigative enquiries.
Every case is different, so the most suitable approach will depend on the information already available, the reason for the trace, and the complexity of the enquiry.
The more accurate information you can provide, the better the starting point for a tracing enquiry. Useful details may include the person’s full name, date of birth, last known address, previous contact details, and the reason you are seeking to trace them.
At INSIGNIS Investigations, we assess each enquiry carefully before advising on the most appropriate tracing option. All instructions must have a lawful and legitimate basis before work can proceed.
Yes, a private investigator may be able to trace someone in the UK where there is a legitimate reason to do so and the work can be carried out lawfully. Tracing services are commonly used by private individuals, solicitors, landlords, insurers, and businesses who need to locate someone in connection with a personal, legal, or commercial matter.
At INSIGNIS Investigations, all tracing enquiries are handled discreetly and assessed on a case-by-case basis to ensure the work is necessary, proportionate, and appropriate.
The cost of a tracing enquiry depends on the nature of the case and the level of work required. Straightforward desktop-based traces may differ significantly from more detailed or complex tracing enquiries that require enhanced investigation.
For that reason, we do not provide a one-size-fits-all price list. Once we understand the circumstances, the information available, and the objective of the enquiry, we can advise on the most suitable option and provide transparent guidance on likely costs.
