Common Questions About People Search & Locate Investigations

• Can PartnerCheck help locate someone in Australia?
  Yes, where the enquiry is lawful, safe and suitable. PartnerCheck may assist with people search and locate enquiries for legitimate purposes, including family, legal, witness, reconnecting, document service or other suitable factual matters.
• What information do you need to start a people search?
  Useful information may include the person’s full name, previous names, last known location, date of birth or approximate age, phone numbers, email addresses, social profiles, employment details, known associates and the reason for the locate request.
• Can you help locate someone for document service?
  Yes, where suitable. PartnerCheck may assist with people search and locate support for document service-related purposes. However, clients are responsible for confirming service requirements with their solicitor, process server or the relevant court.
• Do you guarantee the person will be found?
  No. PartnerCheck does not guarantee that a person will be located. Results depend on available information, lawful search pathways, data quality, location history, timing, third-party information and operational suitability.
• Will you tell me where someone lives?
  PartnerCheck only provides information where it is lawful, suitable and appropriate to do so. Some locate enquiries may be declined or limited where disclosure could create privacy, safety, harassment, family violence or misuse concerns.
• What people search requests will PartnerCheck refuse?
  PartnerCheck will refuse requests that appear linked to harassment, stalking, intimidation, coercive control, unsafe contact, unlawful debt recovery, revenge, violence risk, misleading instructions or any improper purpose.
• What happens before work begins?
  Before work begins, PartnerCheck assesses the purpose of the request, lawful scope, available information, safety risks, privacy considerations, location, urgency and matter suitability. If the matter is not suitable, we may decline the enquiry.
