In-depth people tracing explained
At Find UK People, all of our people tracing services — including advanced in-depth investigations — operate on a no trace, no fee basis. If we do not locate the individual and provide a verified report, you pay nothing.
Our in-depth tracing service is tailored for complex or high-difficulty cases where standard data-led methods are insufficient. Carried out by our in-house team of experienced tracing agents, this service combines advanced research techniques with Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), enabling us to analyse digital footprints, online activity, and wider public records.
Unlike automated credit data searches, our investigative approach offers deeper insights and a higher success rate for hard-to-trace subjects. All cases are verified using multiple trusted sources and are handled in full compliance with UK data protection laws.
In rare cases where extended research is required beyond the initial no trace no fee search, clients are advised in advance of any additional or fee based research costs. Most in-depth cases are completed within 30 days.
Frequently asked questions
Is in depth people tracing no trace no fee?
✅ Peace of mind!
All of our people tracing and private investigation services, including in-depth tracing, operate on a no trace, no fee basis. If we are unable to locate the individual, you won’t pay a penny.
Once a report has been generated and delivered, it is considered final and non-refundable. This reflects the comprehensive nature of our service and the resources invested in producing the result.
In some complex cases, additional research may be required. If so, we’ll contact you in advance to request further funds on account. Any such agreed payment will be a fixed, final fee for the additional work, and will override the original no trace, no fee policy.
This approach ensures transparency, fairness, and flexibility while maintaining the high standards our clients expect.

How does in depth people tracing differ from standard tracing?
🔎 In-Depth vs Desktop-Only People Tracing
In-depth tracing goes beyond standard desktop tracing by combining digital research with manual investigation, offering a far more comprehensive solution—particularly for complex or evasive cases.
Key Differences:
1. Methodology
-
Desktop Tracing: Relies solely on automated database searches, such as electoral rolls, basic credit data, public records, and social media.
-
In-Depth Tracing: Combines data tools (e.g. Experian, Equifax) with manual analysis, open-source intelligence (OSINT), and investigator-led research.
2. Level of Detail
-
Desktop Tracing: Typically provides basic results such as a current address and limited contact details.
-
In-Depth Tracing: Delivers a fuller picture, including address history, cross-referenced data, potential associates, and behavioural indicators—where legally available.
3. Suitability
-
Desktop Tracing: Best for straightforward cases where the subject is traceable via routine data.
-
In-Depth Tracing: Ideal for complex situations—common names, limited data, evasive behaviour, or multiple relocations—where deeper analysis is required.
All tracing is conducted in strict accordance with UK GDPR and relevant privacy laws, ensuring ethical and lawful use of data.
Find UK People® offers both desktop and in-depth tracing services—tailored to the complexity of your case and your specific needs.
