For a domestic residential trace we offer three different speeds of trace, at three different competitively priced fees. All traces will cost £20 + VAT (£23) to start with, followed by a further payment for a positive trace as follows:
Typically our trace reports will include a home address, contact telephone numbers (unless they are not listed or ex-directory) and any additional information that the agent comes across during the course of the trace.
We also offer the same service if you wish to confirm a subject's current employment details - just make sure you select the appropriate option when you submit the trace request.
To trace someone abroad we will require an initial payment which is doubled to £40 + VAT (£46) to start with. Before submitting the trace, please get in contact so we can negociate the time scale needed and the final payment amount which will be required if the trace is positive.
We are also able to provide a more detailed service for people who require more in-depth information on their subject, known as a Status Report. The report will additionally include a full background check: a verification of the subject's residential status including a visit to their neighbourhood by one of our agents and details of property ownership; and a verification of the subject's financial circumstances including CCJs and bankruptcy checks and in-depth employment details. Please click here to download a pdf copy of a sample report. The cost of this service is £250 + VAT and you will receive the report within 10 working days.
If you are an employer and require vetting services, please visit our sister site: advancedvetting.com.
The initial fee charged for simple residential or employment traces is to ensure that you are serious about starting an invesitgation and, although we are renowned for our high success rates, in the rare cases when we may be unable to confirm a positive trace this initial cost is kept to cover our basic costs.
All of our trace results, both positive and negative, will be telephoned over, within the time frame agreed, as soon as we have confirmed the result. Written results can also be sent out on request but may obviously take more time. A copy of a Status Report will be sent out to you within 10 working days.

Alternatively, if you wish to proceed with a trace please submit your request on-line via our Easitrace form, where you can pay by credit/debit card, giving as much detail as possible on your subject. Examples of such information are a full name, last known addresses and any additional details that may aid us, such as a date of birth and employment details. Payment can then be taken either on-line via Paypal or, if you prefer, we are also able to accept credit card payments over the telephone. However, please note that payments over the telephone can only be taken during office hours, monday - friday.
We highly recommend using our on-line service, but if you would like to pay by cheque please send your request by post with a cheque made payable to "Global Investigations Ltd". However, please note that paying by cheque will add up to approximately 10 working days to the speed of your trace as we will have to wait for your cheques to arrive and for your initial payment to clear before we can start the trace and, once we have confirmed a positive result, we will have to wait for the additional payment to clear before we can provide the details. Contact us if you require more details.
If any of the information we provide proves to be inaccurate we will happily re-check the details for you free of charge, provided that you notify us within 60 days of the completion date. If we are unable to confirm any different information we will gladly refund your original completion cost.
