SKIP TRACING SPECIALISTS

Skip tracing is the process of finding a person's current address or contact details using whatever last-known information you can provide — a name, an old address, a date of birth, a former workplace.

We access a wide range of licensed and privileged databases across Australia to build an accurate, up-to-date picture of where someone is now.

​

We can help you find:

  • Family members you've lost contact with

  • Old friends

  • Debtors

  • Beneficiaries named in a will or estate

  • Ex-partners (for child support, custody or legal matters)

  • Someone who needs to be served with legal documents

​​

Also available as part of a skip trace:

  • Historical and current property data

  • National court data

​

If you're concerned for someone's immediate safety, please contact Police on 000 (emergency) or 131 444 (Police Assistance Line). Skip tracing is for locating people you've lost contact with — not for urgent welfare checks.

FAMILY RESEARCH

Whether you're hoping to reconnect with someone or piece together where you came from, we offer two related services:

​

Reconnecting with Family 

If you've lost touch with a parent, sibling, child or other relative — through estrangement, adoption, or simply time and distance — we can help you locate them. Using the details you provide, we search licensed and privileged databases to trace current contact information, so you can decide whether and how to reach out.

​

Family History & Ancestry Research 

If you're trying to understand your family's story — verifying family history, tracing lineage, or filling gaps in your family tree — we combine historical records with investigative research techniques to trace ancestors and build an accurate picture of your family's past.

​

Every enquiry is handled with discretion and without judgement. We understand these searches are often personal and emotional, and we treat every case that way.​

NOT SURE IF WE CAN HELP?

Skip tracing and family research are our focus — but if your enquiry doesn't fit neatly into either, get in touch anyway. We'll have a confidential conversation and let you know honestly whether we can help, or point you toward someone who can.

Please note: we do not offer surveillance services.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is skip tracing legal in Australia? Yes. All searches are conducted lawfully, using licensed and authorised data sources, in line with the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles.

​

What information do I need to give you to get started? The more you can provide, the better — full name, date of birth (if known), last known address, and any other identifying details or aliases. Even partial information is often enough to begin.

​

Is my enquiry confidential? Yes. Every enquiry and investigation is handled in the strictest confidence.

​

How long does it take? Skip tracing searches are typically completed within 10 business days. Family research and family history investigations are more detailed and typically take up to 30 days.

​

Do you offer surveillance? No — we don't offer surveillance services. Our focus is skip tracing and family research.​

FEES

Expertise meets integrity at Enigma PI. We pride ourselves on offering top-tier investigative services at competitive rates. Because no two cases are the same, our fees are customised based on the type of service you need and the details you can provide.

Our fee structure is based on two primary factors:

  • The duration required to conduct a comprehensive investigation.

  • The specific skillsets utilised to ensure an exhaustive conclusion.

Payment Terms: 

To keep our services accessible, we offer a two-part payment plan. An initial 50% payment is required to begin the investigation, with the final balance due upon completion before the formal findings are released.

​​

​

TIMEFRAMES

We strive to deliver Skip Tracing results within 10 business days of commencement. This timeframe allows our team to cross-reference data across multiple channels and, when necessary, process information requests from external entities to ensure accuracy.

For Identity & Family History services, we aim for completion within 30 days. These investigations are highly detailed and labor-intensive, requiring a high degree of technical skill, diligence, and coordination with external data sources.​

Note on Commencement:

Investigations officially begin once the initial payment (either a pre-arranged installment or payment in full) has been processed.
