Surveillance is one of the most useful tools a private investigator has to offer. Industry professionals call this HUMINT or Human Intelligence as investigators gather information on a person by tracking their movements either remotely, or physically. The types of surveillance we offer are:
Physical surveillance: Our agency can provide personal surveillance in any city near Dubai, UAE. Our agents are highly skilled in physical surveillance, using the latest technology to provide our clients with quality photo and video.

This is the most important part of the investigation, as the information provided to us will expedite the investigative process. The more detail you provide in reference to the subject, the quicker the investigation can begin. The information given can also lead to a quicker result, as we can pinpoint where to focus our efforts in an investigation.
Although frowned upon, there have been cases where client’s withhold information in reference to a subject. It is both the client and the investigators duty to ensure that any case conducted is done ethically. This has an adverse effect on the investigation and can create doubt on both the company and client end. In the event that information is withheld and the investigator does not find the information you know, it may be against the service agreement you signed, in turn voiding the investigation altogether.

Divorce and custody follow different federal laws depending on faith. Non-Muslim residents fall under Federal Decree-Law No. 41 of 2022, which allows divorce without proving fault and provides for joint custody, and Muslims fall under the Personal Status Law, Federal Decree-Law No. 41 of 2024. Brodies’ guide to divorce in Dubai explains how proceedings work in practice.
Adultery remains an offense under Article 409 of the Penal Code and is prosecuted only on a spouse’s complaint, so infidelity evidence in Dubai must be handled with care.
Dubai has no licensing regime specific to private investigators that we could verify. One UAE legal-information site states that there is no trade licence or business approval for private investigation businesses, and Dubai’s free zones, including the DIFC and Jebel Ali Free Zone, each set their own licensing rules. Privin therefore scopes Dubai engagements narrowly around lawful activities such as public-record research, due diligence, and lawful interviews.
Dubai has two court systems: the Dubai Courts, which apply federal and emirate law, and the DIFC Courts, which apply the DIFC’s own civil and commercial laws within the financial centre.

Privin does not treat secret recording as a safe way to gather evidence in Dubai.

Investigations such as background checks, subject screening or health and welfare checks can be billed at a flat rate. Although these can be a flat rate, many investigation agencies still prefer retainers, as the case direction can change.

Although a case can be an hourly rate, there are additional fees like travel, mileage and report writing.
