Privin Network provides private investigation services in Indonesia, connecting clients with our investigators and local partners, experienced in background checks, surveillance, infidelity cases, corporate due diligence, and locating missing persons. Privin Network and its local partner investigators are licensed to operate in Indonesia, and every case is scoped with local law in mind from the outset.
Our investigators and local partners cover Jakarta, the capital and the country’s largest economy, built on trade, financial services, and real estate, which makes it a frequent setting for corporate due diligence; Surabaya, the capital of East Java and Indonesia’s second-largest city, home to the country’s second-largest port, where much of the work involves business verification and commercial disputes; and Bali, whose economy runs on tourism, where cases often involve personal, family, and visitor-related matters. 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 Indonesia private investigator(s) 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
Identify and confirm pertinent information about an individual for an important decision.
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.
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. Indonesia’s Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE) Law, Law No. 11 of 2008 as amended, criminalizes illegal access to computer systems (Article 30) and unauthorized interception (Article 31); UNODC hosts an English text of the original 2008 law.
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.
Our trained and experienced Indonesia private investigators, staff, and management all have police and/or military background, Furthermore, they are well versed in local customs, culture, and society.
Indonesia’s divorce law is largely fault-based. Under Article 39 of the Marriage Law (Law No. 1 of 1974) and Article 19 of Government Regulation No. 9 of 1975, adultery is a recognized ground for divorce, alongside continuing quarrels with no prospect of reconciliation, and Muslim couples have additional grounds under the Compilation of Islamic Law. Adultery is also a criminal offense under Article 411 of the new Criminal Code, in force since 2 January 2026, but it can be prosecuted only on a complaint from a spouse or, in some cases, a parent or child, as NU Online reports. Custody is decided by the court case by case rather than following automatically from a finding of adultery.
The standard background-check document is the SKCK (Surat Keterangan Catatan Kepolisian), a police record certificate issued by the Indonesian National Police and valid for six months. It is requested by the person concerned, so employers and business counterparties usually ask the individual to supply it, and Good News from Indonesia reports that since March 2026 it can also be made and printed online through the Presisi Polri app.
Indonesia has no licensing regime or statute specific to private investigators. As a Hukumonline legal clinic article explains, whether the work is lawful depends on each activity carried out rather than on the profession itself, so our investigators and local partners work within general criminal, telecommunications, and data protection law.
Personal data is governed by the Personal Data Protection Law (Law No. 27 of 2022), in force since October 2022 with a two-year transition period that ended in October 2024. The dedicated Personal Data Protection Agency the law calls for had still not been established in the most recent legal commentary we reviewed (August 2026), and DLA Piper’s Indonesia data protection overview gives the wider framework.
No Indonesian statute squarely addresses whether a participant may record their own conversation. Intercepting other people’s communications is prohibited under Article 31 of the ITE Law and Article 40 of the Telecommunications Law, which carries up to 15 years’ imprisonment under Article 56. Using a recording as evidence can also be challenged: in 2016 the Constitutional Court ruled that a recording of a politician’s conversation made without law enforcement authority could not be used against him, as The Jakarta Post reported.
I worked with Privin Network in Jakarta on a sensitive case. They handled everything with discretion, kept me informed, and delivered verified results. If you need reliable investigative services in Jakarta, they are a strong choice.
In Jatim I engaged Privin Network for a business-verification matter. They communicated clearly, respected my time, and delivered a detailed report. For anyone in Surabaya looking for professional investigation support, they stand out.
Privin Network assisted me in Bali with a private inquiry. Their team moved efficiently, maintained confidentiality and provided findings in a straightforward format.
They offer personal investigations (infidelity, adoption, person locate), background checks, surveillance, digital forensics and corporate investigations.
Our investigators and local partners cover Jakarta, Surabaya, Bali, and the surrounding regions, with access to local and regional networks to support investigations across the country.
Yes. The team emphasises discreet, legal handling of all case information and secure reporting.
Clients include individuals, law firms, businesses, insurance companies and organisations needing investigative support.
No. Indonesia has no licensing regime or statute specific to private investigators, so the lawfulness of an investigation depends on the specific methods used rather than on a license.
Yes. The Personal Data Protection Law (Law No. 27 of 2022) is in force and its transition period ended in October 2024, although the supervisory agency it provides for had not yet been established in the latest legal commentary we reviewed.
The law is unsettled. Intercepting other people’s communications is prohibited, but no statute clearly addresses a participant recording their own conversation, and a recording’s use as evidence can be challenged, so our investigators and local partners treat it cautiously.
Yes. Adultery is a listed ground for divorce under Government Regulation No. 9 of 1975 and is also a complaint-based criminal offense under the new Criminal Code, while custody is decided by the court case by case.
The main official document is the SKCK, a police record certificate issued by the Indonesian National Police and valid for six months, which the person concerned normally requests.
The ITE Law (Law No. 11 of 2008, as amended) prohibits illegal access to computer systems and unauthorized interception, and our digital forensic work is designed to operate within it.
The private investigators, staff, and management at our Indonesia office are highly skilled, with extensive police and military experience. Additionally, they have a strong understanding of the local culture and society.
