Wait – There’s more!
Our motto – “Locating anyone, anywhere, for any reason”
There are many reasons for a client to request a Private Investigator to assist them to find a missing person and trying to find someone who has gone missing without leaving any trace can be quite challenging and the process can become even more complicated when the person in question does not wish to be found.
When a person needs to continue with their everyday life, finding the time and the money can be physically exhausting and emotionally draining, especially if the hours they put into it, leads to a dead end.
Be assured, that we at Trace and Identify (Australia) will do the hard work by using specialised databases that are not generally known to the public which in turn, enables you to free up your valuable time.
We are here to achieve the results you need so that you can enjoy the peace of mind you so deserve.
