Are you trying to locate someone in Norway who has gone off the grid? Whether you need to find a missing person, locate a debtor, or track down someone evading
Privin Network provides private investigation services in Norway, connecting clients with investigators and local partners experienced in background checks, surveillance, infidelity investigations, corporate due diligence, and international cases. Privin Network and its local partner investigators are licensed to operate in Norway, and every case is scoped with local law in mind from the outset.
Our investigators and local partners work throughout Norway, including in Oslo, Bergen, and Drammen. Oslo, the capital and largest city, is the seat of government and the country’s financial and corporate center, making it a frequent setting for corporate due diligence and cases touching official records. Bergen, the largest city in Western Norway, is a major port with a long maritime and seafood trade, which brings employment and commercial cases. Drammen, a port city southwest of Oslo, is a regional hub where personal, employment, and locate cases often arise. 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 private detectives in Norway 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. Section 204 of Norway’s Penal Code punishes gaining access to a computer system by breaking a protection or by other unauthorized means (see the Storting’s decision text).
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 Norway private investigators, staff, and management all have police and/or military background, Furthermore, they are well versed in local customs, culture, and society.
In Norway, a police certificate (politiattest) can be requested only for yourself, through the police online application. Employers and organizations may require one only where Norwegian law gives a legal basis, usually with a purpose-specific confirmation from the employer, so independent background checks fill the gap for many commercial and personal decisions.
Norwegian divorce is time-based rather than fault-based. A couple first obtains a separation decree from the County Governor, either spouse can petition for divorce a year later, and divorce is also available after two years of living apart, as an archived County Governor guide explains. Infidelity therefore does not need to be proven to obtain a divorce, and parents of children under 16 must include a certificate of mediation with the separation petition.
Norway has no licence or authorization scheme for private investigators. The title is not protected, and anyone may in principle call themselves a private investigator.
Private investigators have no special powers and are bound by the same rules as everyone else, as the Norwegian Consumer Advocate notes. An industry association has asked the Ministry of Justice to consider regulation, according to Politiforum, but no scheme exists.
Data privacy is governed by the EU GDPR, which applies in Norway through the EEA Agreement, together with the Personal Data Act and enforcement by the Norwegian Data Protection Authority (Datatilsynet).
Section 205 of the Penal Code prohibits secretly listening to or recording conversations between others, and as a legal answer on Ung.no explains, a person who takes part in a conversation can record it without committing that offense.
