Privin Network provides private investigation services in Malta, connecting clients with investigators and local partners experienced in background checks, surveillance, infidelity investigations, corporate due diligence, and international cases. Private investigation is a licensed, regulated activity in Malta: the Private Guards and Community Officers Act treats private investigative services as a licensed service overseen by the Commissioner of Police.
Our investigators and local partners work throughout Malta, including in Valletta, Birkirkara, and Qormi. Valletta, the capital and seat of government, is home to the main ministries and law courts, making it a frequent setting for corporate due diligence and cases touching official records. Birkirkara, one of Malta’s most populous localities, is where many personal, family, and background-check cases originate. Qormi, a large locality with a mix of residential and light-industrial areas, often generates employment and locate investigations. 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 Malta 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. Malta’s computer misuse provisions in the Criminal Code (Chapter 9) make it an offense to access computer data without authorization or to intercept non-public data transmissions by technical means.
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 Malta private investigators, staff, and management all have police and/or military background, Furthermore, they are well versed in local customs, culture, and society.
The standard background-check document in Malta is the Police Conduct Certificate, issued by the Malta Police Force’s Criminal Records Office and requested through the government’s official conduct-certificate portal or in person in Floriana. It shows an individual’s recorded criminal convictions, and a person can generally request only their own certificate, so employment and business checks usually rely on the subject providing it.
Malta’s divorce and legal separation rules treat the two differently. Legal separation can be granted on grounds that include adultery, and in separation proceedings the court decides custody with the welfare of the children as the paramount consideration. Divorce, by contrast, does not require proof of fault and depends mainly on the spouses having lived apart, so adultery is not a ground for divorce in itself.
Private investigation is a licensed activity in Malta. Under the Private Guards and Community Officers Act (Chapter 389), “private investigative services,” defined as obtaining or supplying information about a person’s identity, conduct, movements, whereabouts, or background, are one of the services that fall within private guard services, and applications for a licence are made in writing to the Commissioner of Police.
Data privacy is governed by the Data Protection Act (Chapter 586) together with the EU General Data Protection Regulation, and is supervised by the Information and Data Protection Commissioner. Surveillance footage, recordings, and investigative reports about identifiable people are personal data, so they must be gathered and kept under a lawful basis.
Malta has no dedicated recording-consent statute that clearly addresses a participant recording their own conversation. Unauthorized technical interception of non-public data transmissions is a criminal offense under the Criminal Code, and once a recording is stored or used it becomes personal data under data protection law, so recordings should be used only on legal advice.

Yes. Malta’s Data Protection Act (Chapter 586) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation govern how personal data may be collected, used, and kept, and our investigators and local partners follow these requirements.
Malta has no dedicated statute that clearly settles whether a participant may record their own conversation. Unauthorized technical interception is a criminal offense and recordings count as personal data, so we advise taking legal advice before relying on any covert recording.
Adultery is a ground for legal separation, but divorce does not require proof of fault. In separation proceedings the court decides custody with the welfare of the children as the paramount consideration.
The Malta Police Force’s Criminal Records Office issues a Police Conduct Certificate showing recorded convictions, which an individual can request online or in person in Floriana.
Malta’s Criminal Code contains computer misuse offenses covering unauthorized access to data and interception of non-public data transmissions, and our digital forensic work is designed to operate within them.
The private investigators, staff, and management at our Malta office are highly skilled, with extensive police and military experience. Additionally, they have a strong understanding of the local culture and society.
