Skip Tracing in Franklin, TN
Skip Tracing & Locates
Locating people across Tennessee for legal, personal, or financial reasons — from missing witnesses to hard-to-find defendants.
Franklin Investigation Agency is a d/b/a and direct branch of Delator Group, a Tennessee-licensed private investigation and process serving company. Williamson County cases are handled by Tennessee-licensed private investigators who operate under Delator Group.
Finding people who don't want to be found
Whether it's a witness who's gone silent, a debtor who's moved without a forwarding address, or a family member who's lost touch, locating someone requires more than a basic online search. Franklin Investigation Agency conducts skip tracing and locate investigations using lawful database access, public records, and field verification.
Many of our locate cases originate from Williamson County attorneys and process servers who need a current, verified address — not just a last-known one — before a filing deadline.

Skip tracing FAQ
How is skip tracing different from a basic online search?
Skip tracing uses lawful access to databases, public records, and verification methods well beyond what a free online search can surface, and includes confirming that information is current rather than outdated.
Can you locate someone for process service?
Yes — we regularly work with attorneys and process servers to confirm current addresses for service of process across Tennessee.
What if the person truly can't be located?
If a location can't be confirmed, we provide a documented account of the investigative steps taken, which can be useful for legal purposes such as demonstrating diligent search efforts.
Do you only locate people within Williamson County?
No — while many cases start with a Williamson County last-known address, our search extends statewide across Tennessee as needed.
