About us

Built for the South Africans corporate agencies overlook.

Omnitrace exists because trustworthy fraud investigation shouldn't be a luxury for law firms and banks. Working families lose deposits to rental scams. Small business owners hire the wrong person and pay for it for years. We built a service priced and paced for real households and independent businesses.

Who we are

Omnitrace is a South African private investigation practice focused on four areas we do well: contact tracing, property verification, background checks and criminal watchlist screening. Every case is opened, worked and closed by a senior investigator — not passed down a call-centre queue.

What we believe

  • Discretion is default. Your enquiry never leaves the file it belongs to.
  • Honesty about scope. If we can't help, we say so — and often refer you to who can.
  • Lawful methods only. POPIA-aligned. No unlawful surveillance, no impersonation of officials.
  • Prices middle-income households can afford. Transparent pricing, no surprise invoices.

Where we work

All nine provinces of South Africa, with strongest presence in Gauteng, Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal. Cross-border traces into SADC neighbours are handled through vetted partners.
