Family tracing explained.
Use our rapid Family Tracing Service - to look for any family members and relatives you have lost touch with. Our expert family & relative tracing company has a high success rate and the family tracing service is always no trace no fee.
Find UK People® provides a specialist UK family tracing service, designed to help you reconnect with relatives you’ve lost touch with over time. Our expert-led process is typically completed within 30 days and operates on a no trace, no fee basis, offering a reliable and transparent solution for those looking to re-establish contact with family members.
Our experienced in-house investigators utilise trusted UK data sources, including credit agency records, electoral roll information, and birth, marriage and death indexes. These are combined with advanced tracing techniques to identify and verify the current residential address of the family member you’re seeking, even when only limited information is available.
Once an individual has been successfully located, we initiate contact by sending a single letter on your behalf. This letter explains your intention to reconnect and includes your name, telephone number, and email address. In line with UK GDPR requirements, their consent is always required before any further information is shared. It remains entirely the subject’s decision whether to respond.
All address information provided is verified through two separate data sources to ensure accuracy as of the date of the report. In the unlikely event the result is questioned, we offer a free recheck within 60 days to ensure confidence in our findings.
Please note, we are unable to accept cases where there has been no previous contact with the person being traced since birth, or where there is a history of contentious communication, safeguarding concerns, or prior denial of contact. These restrictions are in place to uphold ethical tracing practices and ensure compliance with data protection regulations.
Find UK People® is a trusted and discreet UK tracing agency with extensive experience in family tracing. Our professional, compliant, and supportive approach has helped many people reconnect and rebuild meaningful family relationships. If you’re ready to begin your search, our team is here to assist with care, sensitivity, and proven expertise.

How can I trace a family member?
👪 The Family reconnection experts!
Find UK People is a company that provides people tracing services to reconnect family members and friends. The company aims to provide accurate, fast, and affordable services that are compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), ensuring a peace of mind for its customers.
Here’s a general process on how the family tracing service works:
- Initial Consultation: The process often starts with an initial consultation where you provide information about the person you are trying to trace. This typically includes the person’s full name, last known address, date of birth or age, and any other relevant details you may have.
- Search: Using the provided information, Find UK People will then conduct a thorough search through various public and private databases, records, and resources. Their team uses advanced tools and investigative techniques to locate the person you are looking for.
- Data Compliance: During this process, the company follows GDPR guidelines to ensure data privacy and protection. This means they only access and use data in a lawful manner and ensure that personal information is handled responsibly.
- Verification: Once a potential match is found, the company verifies the information to ensure they have indeed located the correct person. This could involve cross-referencing multiple sources of information and using additional verification methods.
- Report and Initial Contact: After the verification process, the company will have confirmed the current location of the person you’re trying to trace. However, in respect of privacy and compliance with GDPR, Find UK People will not directly share this information with you. Instead, they’ll initiate the contact by sending a letter to the located person on your behalf. This letter generally explains that someone is trying to reconnect with them, giving your name, email and contact telephone number.The letter gives the person the option to decide if they want to get in contact with the searcher. They may either choose to respond positively to the letter, ignore it, or explicitly deny contact. If they respond positively, Find UK People will then facilitate a reconnection where they need to unless the traced party directly makes contact with the searcher.This practice ensures that the privacy and wishes of the located person are respected and ensures GDPR compliance by not revealing personal data without consent. This way, the searcher and the searcher can reconnect in a peaceful and respectful manner, reducing potential distress.
Remember, while these services can help you trace and reconnect with family members, they must always respect individual privacy rights. Always use these services responsibly and ethically.
Is consent required for family or friend tracing?
🔐 Find UK People keeps you safe
As Find UK People, a leading people tracing agency in the UK, we take data protection and privacy very seriously. It’s essential for us to adhere to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which provides individuals with significant control over their personal data. This section outlines the reasoning behind our need to obtain consent when carrying out a family or friend trace – this does not apply to other trace types.
In accordance with the GDPR, we can only process personal data when it’s legally permissible to do so, and there are stringent conditions that we must meet. One of these conditions is the individual’s explicit consent. We require consent in instances of family or friend tracing to ensure that we respect and protect the rights and freedoms of the individual being traced.
It’s crucial to note that even though you may be looking for a friend or family member with good intentions, we cannot assume this on behalf of the person being traced. Everyone has a right to privacy and this includes the right to decide who they want to be in contact with. Therefore, to ensure we respect these rights, we must obtain explicit consent from the individual being traced before releasing their personal information.
This policy not only safeguards the individual’s privacy rights but also helps us maintain our commitment to ethical data handling practices and compliance with GDPR regulations. If we were to process personal data without obtaining proper consent, it would result in a breach of the GDPR, leading to potential fines and reputational damage.
We understand that this requirement may cause frustration for those seeking to reconnect with loved ones. However, our primary responsibility is to ensure that we operate within the legal boundaries set by GDPR and respect the rights of all individuals involved in our tracing processes.
Remember, trust and integrity are paramount to us at Find UK People. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation with our privacy policy. If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact us.
How do you obtain consent for family or friend tracing?
📮 We write to the subject and explain everything!
All family or friend traces require consent, other cases do not.
We obtain this by sending a letter to the traced individual, providing them with the searcher’s email and phone number. After this letter is dispatched, we offer no further assistance. The traced party can directly reach out to the searcher using the provided contact information. Find UK People strictly adheres to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Therefore, we require explicit consent from the individual being traced before we can process their personal data when conducting a family or friend trace – other services do not require consent.
Do you offer adoption tracing?
❌ No Adoption Tracing
Find UK People does not provide adoption-related tracing services, including tracing adopted individuals or biological relatives in adoption cases. If your search relates to adoption, please do not use our services, as we are unable to assist.
Under UK law, organisations offering tracing services for adopted adults seeking birth parents must be registered with Ofsted as an adoption support agency. As this is not an area we cover, we are not registered for this purpose and cannot undertake any adoption-related tracing.
Our family tracing services are strictly limited to non-adoption-related cases, such as reconnecting with long-lost relatives where no adoption records are involved. If you require assistance with an adoption-related search, we recommend contacting a registered adoption support agency or the General Register Office (GRO) for guidance.
