A person may disappear from familiar view but leave a verifiable sequence of events

At a minimum - full name, the known country of connection and an explanation of the lawful purpose. It is of great help to have the period of last contact, approximate age, profession, company name and any variant spellings of the name. The less initial information available, the longer identification takes and the broader the result is formulated.

Yes, but we start with identification, not location. First it is necessary to separate the person in question from namesakes, based on profession, environment and chronology. If persons cannot be distinguished based on the available information, we say so directly and propose either expanding the source data or narrowing the task.

By a combination of independent indicators: date of birth where lawfully available, education, professional line, roles in specific companies, a stable environment and litigation events. What is decisive is not the number of matches but a consistent timeline: the indicators must form a single biography without gaps or overlaps.

Yes, this is a common situation in international searches. Work is conducted separately for each jurisdiction, since the composition of available information differs. The report indicates what was obtained for each country and where sources are limited. The number of jurisdictions directly affects the timeframe and cost.

Not always, and we do not promise this in advance. The achievable result is more often a country or region, current activity and a lawful channel of contact. An exact address is possible when it is confirmed by documentary sources within the permissible scope. If no such sources exist, we state the result honestly rather than presenting an assumption as fact.

Information is gathered from available sources and does not involve notification. If the task requires approaching third parties or the person themselves, the procedure for such a step is agreed with you in advance, and we explain what trace it will leave. No contact is initiated without your consent.

Often yes. This may be an organization where the person holds a role, a professional representative, a public work contact, or a related person through whom an approach is appropriate. We separately assess how current and appropriate the channel is for your situation, especially in family matters.

You receive a report on the work performed: which sources were checked, what traces were found, where they end and why. Such a result also has practical value - it shows the limits of what is available and helps decide whether to continue the search in a different format. The scope and cost of work are agreed in advance and do not depend on whether the outcome is positive.

Initial Search usually takes 5-10 business days, an international search - from 10 to 25. Complex Search is estimated after reviewing the source data. Timeframes are increased by the age of the last contact, the number of jurisdictions, the commonness of the name and the need to obtain official documents.

The report is prepared as a factual basis for the legal team: with sources, dates and an indication of the degree of confirmation of each conclusion. The question of the procedural admissibility of a specific material is decided by the court under the rules of the relevant jurisdiction, so we do not claim in advance that the materials will be accepted as evidence.

Yes. The fact of the engagement, the content of the task and the results of the search are not disclosed to third parties. The identity of the client is not disclosed to those we approach in the course of the work. Access to materials within the project is limited to participants, and the procedure for transferring documents is agreed separately.
