Tips

• You can also use word of mouth and networking to find information about a person for your dossier.

  Warnings

• Use only legal means to obtain information on a person as it is dangerous and inadvisable to break the law to ascertain information on someone.

• Many people may have an aversion to somebody who is known to keep files on people as well, so, I would advise to keep your dossiers private and for yourself only.
