Are you trying to locate someone in Croatia who has gone off the grid? Whether you need to find a missing person, locate a debtor, or track down someone evading
Privin Network provides private investigation services in Croatia, connecting clients with our investigators and local partners, experienced in background checks, surveillance, infidelity cases, corporate due diligence, and cybercrime investigations. Private investigation is a licensed, regulated profession in Croatia under the Private Detectives Act, and every case is scoped with Croatian law in mind from the outset.
Our investigators and local partners cover Zagreb, Croatia’s capital and largest financial and administrative center, well suited to corporate due diligence and business verification; Split, a major Adriatic port and tourism hub on the Dalmatian coast, where much of the work involves insurance and hospitality-related cases; and Rijeka, Croatia’s largest cargo port and a center of shipping and industry, where much of the caseload involves corporate and employment investigations tied to that sector. Wherever your case is based, our investigators and local partners know the area.
Our success is based on your success, and here are some of the many professional services our local private detectives in Croatia can provide:
Personal Investigations
Not everyone is always who they say they are. Whether it’s an individual or a corporation, determine who they are and why they’re there.
Background Checks
Croatia’s own background-check system, the Potvrda o nekažnjavanju (Certificate from Criminal Records), issued free of charge through the Ministry of Justice and the e-Građani portal. Our investigators and local partners build a fuller picture beyond that single certificate, drawing on employment, residential, and public-record history.
Surveillance
An organization or individual may find that they need surveillance help due to suspicious behavior or due to a situation or event that may have occurred. Croatia’s Criminal Code (Article 143) only criminalizes recording a conversation that is not intended for the recorder, meaning a participant can lawfully record their own conversation; our investigators and local partners scope every surveillance case with this distinction in mind.
International Investigations
If you have a business relationship or are contemplating a new business venture in a particular country, it’s not uncommon to need the services of a private investigator for “corporate due diligence” to verify good information about an individual or corporation. Croatia’s 2023 entry into the Eurozone and Schengen Area has made cross-border financial and travel-record verification more straightforward for cases that touch other EU member states.
Locate Investigations
With our investigative skills, we can help you gain addresses and phone numbers for locating individuals.
Cybercrimes and Digital Forensics
Equipped with the right technology and a highly skilled staff of professional investigative specialists, we can assist you in identifying a suspect, the purpose of an attack, and how it occurred. Croatia’s Criminal Code dedicates Articles 266 through 273 to computer-related offenses, including unauthorized access, computer system interference, and unauthorized interception of computer data, giving digital-forensics findings a clear legal basis to stand on in Croatian proceedings.
Infidelity and Adultery Marital Investigations
A marriage or relationship brings with it the expectations of monogamy, but many find themselves in situations where this expectation is not being met by one or both of the individuals involved. Croatia’s Family Act centers divorce on an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, and documented evidence of infidelity can support that claim. Custody is decided separately under the same Act’s joint-parental-responsibility standard rather than being automatically affected by evidence of an affair.
Our trained and experienced Croatia private investigators, staff, and management all have police and/or military background, Furthermore, they are well versed in local customs, culture, and society.
Background checks are one of the most sought-after services, as they are an important step in vetting individuals that are being considered for business and personal opportunities. In Croatia, the baseline government record is the Potvrda o nekažnjavanju (Certificate from Criminal Records), issued free of charge by the Ministry of Justice through the e-Građani portal. At Privin, our background checks build on that foundation with detailed information on subjects including work, residential, associate, and social media history. Don’t get taken unaware by fraud, especially in today’s world where it’s easier than ever to fabricate realistic credentials.
Hiring an investigator can be a stressful time, especially if your need arises from an unseen circumstance. When life brings uncertainty, Privin is able to help.

Croatia licenses private investigators under the Private Detectives Act (Zakon o privatnim detektivima), administered by the Ministry of Interior. Licensed detectives must pass a professional exam, a security check, and generally a 12-month apprenticeship before practicing. Our investigators and local partners in Croatia work within this licensed framework, and every case is scoped with Croatian law in mind from the outset.
Privin Network operates across Croatia, covering major cities like Zagreb, Split, and Rijeka, as well as smaller towns and remote areas. We tailor our investigative services to meet the unique needs of each case, no matter the location.

Yes. Croatia has regulated private investigation as a licensed profession since the Private Detectives Act took effect in 2009. Licensing is overseen by the Ministry of Interior, and licensed detectives must meet education, apprenticeship, and professional-exam requirements before practicing, a real, enforced license rather than a loosely regulated activity.
Croatia applies the EU’s GDPR directly, alongside its own national implementing law, the Act on the Implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation, in force since May 2018. The Croatian Personal Data Protection Agency (AZOP) is the supervisory authority. Our investigators and local partners handle case data with this framework in mind, particularly on workplace and employee-screening matters, where Croatian law requires advance notice before video surveillance is used.
The private investigators, staff, and management at our Croatia office are highly skilled, with extensive police and military experience. Additionally, they have a strong understanding of the local culture and society.
