Privin Network provides private investigation services in Lebanon, 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 Lebanon, and every case is scoped with local law in mind from the outset.
Our investigators and local partners work throughout Lebanon, including in Beirut, Tripoli, and Sidon. Beirut, the capital and largest city, is the seat of government and the center of the country’s banking and commerce, making it a frequent setting for corporate due diligence and cases touching official records. Tripoli, the second-largest city, is a northern port city that also hosts the Tripoli Special Economic Zone, where much of the work involves commercial and employment matters. Sidon, the principal city of southern Lebanon, is where much of the caseload involves personal and family 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 Lebanon 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. Law No. 81/2018 includes criminal provisions on illegal access to information systems and interference with data (see this summary of the law), and Lebanon does not appear to be a party to the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime.
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 Lebanon private investigators, staff, and management all have police and/or military background, Furthermore, they are well versed in local customs, culture, and society.
Lebanon has no unified civil personal status law. Divorce and custody are decided under the personal status laws of each recognized religious community, so the grounds for divorce, the weight given to adultery, and custody rules all depend on the spouses’ sect (see Human Rights Watch’s review of Lebanon’s personal status laws).
In Lebanon the criminal record extract is issued by the criminal record offices of the Internal Security Forces, under the head of the judicial police. A resident applies in person, and a legal representative or a mukhtar-certified mandate holder can apply on the subject’s behalf (see the Internal Security Forces’ FAQ). Because the record is the subject’s own to request, we scope background checks on other people around consent and lawful public sources.
We found no dedicated licensing statute for private investigators in Lebanon, so investigation work is treated as an ordinary business activity and we scope each assignment with local counsel.
Personal data is governed by Law No. 81/2018 on Electronic Transactions and Personal Data. The law does not create an independent data protection authority, so the Ministry of Economy and Trade issues the permits and licenses it requires and enforcement runs through the courts (see DLA Piper’s Lebanon data protection summary).
Lebanon has no statute that squarely addresses a participant recording their own conversation, so the rule is unsettled. Law No. 140/1999 protects the secrecy of communications and limits interception to judicial or ministerial authorization, and Penal Code Articles 580 and 581 target telecom employees and third parties who access calls by trickery (see one comparative summary of Lebanon’s recording rules). Any recording must also respect Law No. 81/2018, so we scope recording work with local counsel.

Lebanon’s Law No. 81/2018 on Electronic Transactions and Personal Data sets the rules for processing personal data. The law has no independent regulator, so the Ministry of Economy and Trade issues permits where required and enforcement runs through the courts. Our investigators and local partners follow these requirements.

It depends on the spouses’ religious community. Lebanon has no unified civil personal status law, so each community’s religious courts decide divorce and custody under their own rules.
