Government and public directories can aid in your skip tracing endeavor. Many federal, state, county, and local records are now available online, usually for free and without requiring a password. 

What Different Levels of Government Can Provide:

  • Federal Government: You can access federal courts through US Courts.gov. You can obtain court records, including bankruptcy records, through Pacer. The American Bankruptcy Institute can provide bankruptcy case opinions for a fee. 
  • State Government: The state may be able to provide 
    • Records of corporations, limited liability companies, and other legal entities
    • Driving records (often only available for specific purposes)
    • Boat and vehicle registrations (sometimes not accessible by the public)
    • Criminal record information (confirmation of whether a debtor is incarcerated, sometimes complete with a debtor’s photo)
