Family tracing explained.
No Find, No Fee family tracing
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!
Discreet, respectful, and GDPR-compliant tracing to help families reconnect
At Find UK People®, we specialise in tracing and reconnecting long-lost family members across the UK. Whether you’re seeking a parent, sibling, or extended relative, our family tracing service offers a sensitive and fully compliant solution that prioritises privacy, consent, and emotional wellbeing.
How our family tracing process works:
1. Provide Key Information
We begin by collecting the details you have about the person you wish to find—such as their full name, last known address, age or date of birth, and any additional background information. Even partial details can be enough for us to begin the trace.
2. Search & Verification
Our experienced tracing agents use a combination of credit agency data, public records, and open-source intelligence to locate the individual. Once a potential match is identified, we cross-reference multiple data points to confirm identity and current residential address.
3. GDPR-Compliant Contact Letter
To protect the privacy of the person traced and remain fully compliant with UK GDPR, we do not release their contact details to you. Instead, we send a discreet letter directly to the traced individual on your behalf.
This letter includes:
-
Your name
-
Your contact telephone number
-
Your email address
It respectfully explains that you are seeking contact and invites them to respond only if they wish to reconnect.
4. Reconnection – If They Consent
If the individual chooses to respond, they may contact you directly using the contact details provided in the letter. If no response is received, we are unable to release any further information, in accordance with data protection law. This ensures the traced party’s autonomy and privacy are fully respected.
Our family tracing approach is:
-
Respectful – placing emotional care and sensitivity at the heart of our process
-
Ethical – giving control to the person being traced to choose if they wish to respond
-
Compliant – operating in full accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018 and UK GDPR
Reconnecting with a family member can be a significant and emotional step. Find UK People® is here to support you with professionalism, discretion, and care at every stage of the process.
Is consent required for family or friend tracing?
🔐 Find UK People keeps everyone safe
Yes — consent is required when tracing a family member or friend. At Find UK People®, we strictly follow the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, which means we cannot disclose personal data without the traced person’s explicit permission.
Even with good intentions, individuals have a legal right to privacy and control over who contacts them. To respect this, once a person is located, we send a discreet letter on your behalf containing your name, phone number, and email address — allowing them to decide whether they wish to reconnect.
This ensures our family and friend tracing service remains ethical, respectful, and fully compliant with UK data protection law.
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.
