Tracing Overseas

Arkline Legal Agents can undertake almost all types of international tracing projects, from one-off instructions to regular bulk tracing projects. We partner with leading international investigators most registered with the World Association of Detectives (WAD), one of the oldest and largest establishments of its kind in the world. They are experts at finding people who may be debtors or beneficiaries quickly and in compliance with domestic and international law.

Our international trading agents use a variety of means to trace individuals according to what is available to them in their country, it may involve databases and/or field visits. Everyone who works with us understands how to deal with sensitive tracing cases, including those involving elderly and vulnerable people, and has the training and skills to establish trust and confidence with the beneficiary.

International tracing is highly specialised as the following factors must be considered at all times:

  • The different laws, regulations, and customs in the particular country which is the focus of the trace.
  • Potential language barriers. 
  • Understanding whether the subject is a citizen of the focus country or a recent immigrant.
  • Establishing trust with the beneficiary or their relatives, especially if they have previously been the victim of a scam.

All our tracing partners are highly professional and work in a legally compliant, sensitive manner. We can also undertake mortality tracing, employment tracing, asset tracing, and UK beneficiary tracing[CM1] .

Although our team is regularly involved in large-volume tracing projects, we are routinely instructed to trace an individual or a small number of people. Regardless of the number of individuals you need to find, you will receive scrupulous, personal, and dedicated service.

We can trace beneficiaries and subjects in the following countries:

  • AllEU/EEA states (including Spain, Republic of Ireland)
  • North America
  • Nigeria
  • Australia
  • NewZealand
