Our Locate Investigation Services

Valdes Investigation Group offers two primary levels of locate services depending on the complexity of the case.

misconduct

Basic Locate Investigation

The Basic Locate service is designed for situations where an individual or asset is not actively concealed but has become difficult to track due to relocation, outdated records, or administrative gaps.

This service typically focuses on:

  • Current verified residential address
  • Associated telephone numbers (when available)
  • Employment information (if accessible)
  • Vehicle registration confirmation
  • Ownership verification of tangible assets

This service is ideal when:

  • The individual has moved without updating records
  • A witness, debtor, or subject has simply fallen out of contact
  • An asset such as a vehicle or boat has changed locations
  • The subject is not intentionally attempting to evade detection

Basic locate investigations rely on structured database analysis, public records research, digital footprint verification, and cross-referenced intelligence to confirm accuracy.

misconduct

Open Locate Investigation (Advanced / Evasive Cases)

The Open Locate service is reserved for more complex cases involving individuals or assets that are actively being concealed.

This category may include:

  • Individuals evading service of process
  • Subjects avoiding child support or court-ordered obligations
  • Fraud suspects
  • Criminal defendants
  • Individuals operating under aliases
  • Cash-based operators or unreported income earners
  • Hidden vehicles, boats, motorcycles, rentals, or heavy equipment
  • Assets relocated across jurisdictions to avoid repossession

Open locate investigations require a multi-layered approach that may involve:

  • Advanced investigative database analytics
  • Cross-jurisdictional record searches
  • Corporate and business ownership analysis
  • Asset movement tracking
  • Surveillance when necessary
  • Pattern-of-life development
  • Field intelligence gathering

When a subject is intentionally hiding, a simple online search is never sufficient. These investigations require experience, strategy, and lawful investigative techniques.

Factors Considered in Locate Investigations

Fees & Case Consultation

  • Asset type involved
  • Urgency of the matter

We strongly recommend a consultation prior to initiating services. The more information provided, such as full legal name, date of birth, last known address, VIN numbers, vessel identification numbers, business names, or known associates, the more efficiently we can proceed.

During your consultation, we will discuss your objectives, establish a reasonable investigative budget, and provide an estimated scope of work.
