Privin Network provides private investigation services in Aruba, connecting clients with our investigators and local partners, experienced in background checks, surveillance, infidelity investigations, corporate due diligence, and locating missing persons. Privin Network and its local partner investigators are licensed to operate in Aruba, and every case is scoped with local law in mind from the outset.
Our investigators and local partners work throughout Aruba, including Oranjestad, San Nicolas, and Noord. Oranjestad, the capital and main port, is the seat of the island’s government and its financial and corporate center, so corporate due diligence and cases that touch official records often begin there. San Nicolas, at the island’s southeastern end, grew up around the historic Lago oil refinery and is home to many longtime local families, which makes it a frequent setting for personal, family, and locate cases. Noord, the northern district that includes the Palm Beach hotel strip, serves a large visitor and hospitality population, so insurance, employment, and personal cases are common there. 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 Aruba private investigator(s) can provide:
Personal Investigations
Not everyone is always who they say they are. Whether it’s an individual or a corporation, we tailor our investigations to provide a better understanding, yielding a successful outcome.
Background Checks in Aruba
Are you considering hiring an employee, entering into a business partnership, or making a significant investment in Aruba? Our comprehensive background check services provide you with the crucial information you need to make well-informed decisions with confidence.
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.
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 to verify good information about an individual or corporation.
Hidden Asset Searches
At Privin Network we are the go-to experts in the field of asset tracing. Our staff has over three decades of experience in tracing hidden assets in Aruba. We recover financial, tangible, intangible, and other types of recoverable assets for our clients.
Locate Investigations
With our investigative skills, we can help you gain addresses and phone numbers for locating individuals. If you are seeking a skip trace in Aruba, our locate investigations are unparalleled.
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. Aruba’s Criminal Code punishes hacking, meaning intentional and unlawful access to a computer system, under Article 2:69, and our digital forensic work is designed to operate within it.
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.
Aruba’s Civil Code allows divorce at the request of one spouse when the marriage is durably broken down, under Article 1:151. Adultery is not a separate ground, so a divorce does not depend on proving infidelity. Where minor children are involved, the court can regulate parental authority and care arrangements in the child’s interest under Book 1 of the Code.
Aruba’s criminal-record document is the Declaration of Good Conduct (Verklaring omtrent het gedrag), applied for through the Government of Aruba’s online portal and issued by the Public Prosecutor’s Office. It is generally requested by the person it concerns, so background checks on others rely on public records, open sources, and information lawfully supplied by the client or the subject.
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. At Privin, our background checks include detailed information on subjects including criminal, 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.
Aruba is a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands with its own legislation, and we found no Aruban statute that licenses private investigators as a profession. Setting up a business on the island generally requires a business license, as described on the Government of Aruba’s business license page, so investigators work as ordinary licensed businesses rather than under an investigator-specific permit.
Personal data is governed by the National Ordinance on Person Registration (Landsverordening persoonsregistratie), summarized in DLA Piper’s Aruba data protection guide. It follows an older Dutch model rather than the EU’s GDPR, and the guide lists the public prosecutor rather than a dedicated data protection authority as the supervisor. Dutch parliamentary documents describe reform as needed, but we found no evidence that a new law has been adopted.
Recording rules sit in Aruba’s Criminal Code of 2012. Article 2:71 punishes anyone who intentionally listens to or records, with a technical device, a conversation held in a home, closed room, or enclosed yard, unless acting on the instructions of a participant, with up to six months in prison or a fine. Article 2:72 applies the same rule elsewhere, with up to three months. In practice a participant, or someone acting for one, may record the conversation. Intercepting data sent by telecommunication that is not meant for the interceptor is separately punishable under Article 2:73.

There’s no standardized pricing structure for private investigations in Aruba. Factors influencing cost include:
Private investigators in Aruba can utilize various tactics to locate missing relatives. This may include database searches, tracing past addresses, utilizing social networks, and conducting discreet inquiries. Success often depends on the initial information available and the circumstances of the person’s disappearance.
Investigators often specialize in corporate and financial fraud. They might conduct surveillance, examine financial records, interview witnesses, and help recover misappropriated assets. The investigator’s role would be to gather evidence that could support legal action.
Yes. Insurance fraud is a significant concern, and Aruban investigators can be employed by insurance companies to investigate suspicious claims. They may conduct surveillance, verify the circumstances of an alleged accident, or uncover staged incidents.
Private investigators in Aruba must comply with local regulations and operate within the law. We work with credentialed professionals who understand the legal limits of surveillance, data collection, and reporting. This ensures that the results can be trusted and stand up under review.
Yes, when gathered legally, evidence from our investigations can be presented in court or used in negotiations. Reports often include photographs, video, witness statements, and documented timelines. Our investigators are also prepared to testify when required.
Timelines vary based on the type of case and the information available at the start. Some background checks may be completed within days, while surveillance or asset investigations can take weeks. We provide realistic expectations after an initial consultation.
All client information and case details are kept strictly confidential. We never disclose sensitive data without your consent and use secure communication methods to protect your privacy. Discretion is central to how we operate.
Clients receive a detailed written report outlining findings, along with supporting evidence such as photos, video, or documentation.

We found no Aruban statute that licenses private investigators as a distinct profession. Setting up a business on the island generally requires a business license, so investigators operate as ordinary licensed businesses and must stay within Aruban criminal and privacy law.
Aruba’s data protection law is the National Ordinance on Person Registration, which follows an older Dutch model and is not the EU’s GDPR. Reform has been described as necessary, so our investigators and local partners rely on lawful sources and information the client is entitled to provide.
Under Articles 2:71 and 2:72 of the Aruban Criminal Code, secretly listening to or recording a conversation with a technical device is an offense unless it is done by or on the instructions of a participant. Intercepting telecommunications data not meant for the interceptor is separately punishable under Article 2:73.
Divorce in Aruba is granted at the request of one spouse when the marriage is durably broken down, under Article 1:151 of the Civil Code. Adultery is not a separate ground, and parental authority and care are decided in the child’s interest rather than as a penalty for infidelity.
The criminal-record document is the Declaration of Good Conduct, issued by the Public Prosecutor’s Office and requested by the person it concerns. Because investigators cannot request another person’s record, background checks combine public records, open-source research, and information lawfully supplied by the client or the subject.
Aruba’s Criminal Code punishes hacking, meaning intentional and unlawful access to a computer system, under Article 2:69, along with related offenses such as interfering with a computer system. Our digital forensic work is designed to operate within these rules.
The private investigators, staff, and management at our Aruba office are highly skilled, with extensive police and military experience. Additionally, they have a strong understanding of the local culture and society.
