Privin Network provides private investigation services in Israel, connecting clients with investigators and local partners for background checks, surveillance, locate investigations, cybercrime and digital forensics, and infidelity and marital matters. Private investigation is a licensed, regulated profession in Israel, governed by the Private Investigators and Security Services Law, 5732-1972, under the oversight of the Ministry of Justice.
Jerusalem is Israel’s capital and seat of government, home to the Knesset, the Supreme Court, and most national ministries, making it a natural base for due diligence and investigations that touch official records. Tel Aviv is Israel’s financial and commercial center and the heart of its “Silicon Wadi” technology cluster, home to the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, making it well suited to corporate due diligence and financial investigations. Haifa is home to one of Israel’s major seaports and a major hub for petroleum refining and chemical processing, making it a natural fit for employment and corporate cases tied to its shipping and industrial economy. 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 Israel 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.
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 Israel private investigators, staff, and management all have police and/or military background, Furthermore, they are well versed in local customs, culture, and society.
Israel has no civil marriage or divorce for its own citizens; personal status matters are instead decided by each community’s own religious courts, Jewish Rabbinical Courts, Muslim Sharia courts, or Christian ecclesiastical courts, under the Rabbinical Courts Jurisdiction Law (Marriage and Divorce), 1953. For Jewish couples, a husband must grant his wife a religious writ of divorce called a get before either may remarry, and a wife’s adultery, though difficult to prove under Jewish law, is grounds for a husband to refuse to grant one; custody is decided separately from any finding of fault, based on the children’s best interests.
Background checks in Israel are conducted through the Israel Police’s Certification Regarding the Absence of a Criminal Record, commonly called a teudat yosher, requestable in person at a police station or online through Israel’s government services portal, and valid for six months from issue.
Private investigation is a licensed profession in Israel under the Private Investigators and Security Services Law, 5732-1972. Licenses for individual investigators, investigation offices, and corporations are issued by the Department for the Licensing of Private Investigators and Security Services at the Ministry of Justice, following review by a seven-member Licensing Committee that includes a criminal background check.
Data privacy is governed by the Privacy Protection Law, 1981, substantially overhauled by Amendment 13, passed in August 2024 and operative since August 14, 2025. The amendment expanded the legal definition of personal data to include IP addresses and online identifiers, required many organizations to appoint a dedicated Privacy Protection Officer, and gave the Privacy Protection Authority real enforcement powers, including the ability to impose direct financial penalties.
Recording a conversation is governed by the Secret Monitoring Law, 5739-1979, which defines unlawful secret monitoring as listening to, receiving, or recording a conversation without the consent of any of its participants. Because a participant’s own presence in the conversation satisfies this requirement, Israel functions as a one-party consent jurisdiction; recording a conversation between two other people without either party’s consent is a separate offense, punishable by up to five years in prison.
Computer-related offenses are covered by the Computers Law, 5755-1995, amended in 2012 to align with the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime. The law separately criminalizes unauthorized computer intrusion, interference with a computer’s ordinary operation, and distributing malicious software intended to cause damage, with maximum sentences ranging from three to five years.
