What is Person Tracing?
Person tracing, also known as people finding or skip tracing, is the professional process of locating individuals who have moved, disappeared, or are otherwise difficult to find. At South Wales Private Investigations, we specialize in finding people across Wales and the UK using a combination of advanced database searches, field investigations, and proven investigative techniques.
Unlike many companies that claim to be based in Wales, we are actually based in Aberdare CF44 9RJ and have genuine local knowledge of South Wales communities. Our person tracing services cover a 25-mile radius from Aberdare, including Merthyr Tydfil, Pontypridd, Bridgend, Neath, Swansea, Cardiff, and surrounding areas.
Whether you need to locate a missing family member, find a debtor who has moved without notice, trace a witness for legal proceedings, or reconnect with an old friend, our experienced investigators use legal and ethical methods to find people quickly and discreetly.

Our Person Tracing Process
Initial Consultation
We begin with a confidential consultation to understand who you're looking for and why. We'll gather all available information about the subject, including last known address, date of birth, previous employment, family connections, and any other relevant details that can aid the search.
Database Searches
Our investigators access specialized databases and public records to trace the individual's movements. This includes electoral rolls, credit reference data, utility connections, DVLA records, and other legal sources of information that can reveal current whereabouts.
Field Investigation
When database searches provide leads, our field investigators conduct discreet inquiries. This may include visiting last known addresses, interviewing associates, checking local businesses, and following up on any information that could lead to the subject's current location.
Verification & Reporting
Once we locate the individual, we verify their identity and current circumstances. We provide you with a comprehensive report including current address, contact details (where appropriate), and any other relevant information discovered during the investigation.
