Tracers
Tracers, formally Tracers Information Specialists, Inc., is a public records and investigative research platform. It has supplied businesses with data since 1996 and delivers access to billions of public records and proprietary data sources to qualified organizations.
The platform is used for skip tracing, people and property searches, criminal record and background investigations, open source intelligence, and identity verification. Industry-specific packaging covers legal practices, private investigators, law enforcement, collections and repossession, financial services, corporations, insurance, healthcare, and state and local government. Financial and corporate users apply it to Know Your Customer and Customer Due Diligence programs, watchlist screening, customer identification programs, vendor and customer risk assessment, fraud analytics, and data enrichment.
Beyond the search interface, the company offers APIs, including an identity verification API, a collection agency API, and a financial institutions API, plus data sets such as license plate recognition, utility listings, and incarcerated inmate search with real-time monitoring.
In June 2022, Tracers and its long-standing data and technology partner Enformion, LLC merged, and the Tracers platform now operates as part of Enformion LLC. Access is limited to qualified organizations, and the site does not publish pricing, so expect a credentialing conversation before use.
