Find someone's current address in Watford. Pay only when we do.
Trace Bureau is the tracing agent for Watford and the whole of Hertfordshire, instructed online. We trace people who were last known in Watford or anywhere in Hertfordshire, and people who have moved away from it. Watford has north-west London and Hertfordshire, which is exactly the kind of movement that leaves a trail across more than 150 sources, registers and records. A person cross-references that trail and you are charged only when we deliver a current address.
How tracing works for Watford instructions
The process is the same wherever the person is. What changes is the court you will be dealing with afterwards, and we write the report with that in mind.
You tell us who and why
Full legal name plus a date of birth or a previous address, often the last WD address you had. Then the reason: money owed, proceedings, a tenancy, an estate, a lost relative. We record the lawful basis.
We trace across the whole UK
People do not stay inside Hertfordshire. Our sources are national, so a person who left Watford for the other end of the country is found the same way as one who moved two streets.
You get a report built for Watford County Court and Family Court
For service, a claim or enforcement, the report gives the address, our confidence rating, the categories of record checked and the dates, so it stands up if it is questioned.
