What Is an Urgent Desktop Trace?

An urgent desktop trace is our priority tracing service for time-sensitive cases. Using the same comprehensive data sources as our standard desktop trace, but with expedited processing to deliver results within 1 working day.

This service is ideal when you need to locate an individual quickly for court deadlines, urgent legal proceedings, or time-critical business matters.

When to Use This Service

Urgent desktop tracing is ideal for:

  • Court deadlines - when you need an address for service before a hearing
  • Time-sensitive legal proceedings - urgent litigation matters
  • Critical debt recovery - when immediate action is required
  • Same-day process serving requirements
  • Any situation requiring expedited results

What We Need From You

To start an urgent desktop trace, we need:

  • Full name of the subject (including any known aliases)
  • Date of birth OR last known address

Additional information that improves success rates:

  • Previous addresses
  • Phone numbers (current or historical)
  • Any other identifying information

What You Receive

Upon successful completion, you will receive a report containing:

  • Current address - verified where possible
  • Time at address (where available)
  • Additional data such as telephone numbers (where available)

Our Guarantee

We operate on a no trace, no fee basis. If we cannot locate a current address for your subject, you will not be charged. This gives you complete peace of mind when instructing us.

Turnaround Time

Urgent desktop traces are prioritised and typically completed within 1 working day. Instructions received before 12:00 noon are processed the same day where possible.
