Common Questions
How is a PI background check different from an online service?
Licensed investigators access primary source records, conduct field verification, and apply investigative judgment, uncovering records that automated services routinely miss.
How long does a background check take?
Most standard background checks are completed within 3–5 business days. Complex cases involving field verification may take longer.

Yes. All subject information and findings are handled with strict confidentiality and never shared with third parties.
