Contact Tracing

Find the person you need to find.

Debtors who vanish. Family members who cut contact. Tenants who abscond mid-lease. Ex-spouses avoiding maintenance orders. Omnitrace traces people across all nine provinces using lawful data sources and skilled field work.

Common situations we solve

  • Debtor tracing — someone owes you money and won't take your calls.
  • Missing family — a relative you've lost contact with and can't find on social media.
  • Absconded tenants — a tenant left owing rent and damage costs.
  • Runaway spouses — a partner has disappeared, sometimes with children or assets.
  • Maintenance defaulters — locating a parent who has stopped paying court-ordered support.
  • Estate beneficiaries — tracing heirs on behalf of executors and attorneys.
  • Business partners — a co-director has disappeared with company property or funds.

What you receive

A written trace report with the subject's confirmed current address, contactable phone number(s) where possible, employment status, and the evidence used to establish those findings. Where required, we can serve documents or arrange a professional call on your behalf.

How long does it take?

Most standard traces are completed within 3 – 10 business days. Complex cases (deliberately hiding, cross-border) take longer and we tell you honestly up front.

Is this legal?

Yes. All our tracing work complies with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). We use lawful information sources and legitimate interest grounds. We never impersonate officials, hack accounts, or use unlawful surveillance.
