Privin Network provides private investigation services in Romania, connecting clients with our investigators and local partners, experienced in background checks, surveillance, infidelity cases, corporate due diligence, and locating missing persons. Private investigation is a licensed, regulated profession in Romania, and every case is scoped with Romanian law in mind from the outset.
Our investigators and local partners cover Bucharest, the capital and largest city, Romania’s financial and corporate center, well suited to corporate due diligence and cases touching official records; Cluj-Napoca, a major university and technology hub, where much of the work involves employment checks and commercial verification; and Timișoara, the main city of western Romania, an industrial and university center that was a European Capital of Culture in 2023, where cases often involve business partners and personal 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 Romania private investigator(s) can provide:

Surveillance

We recover financial, tangible, intangible, and other types of recoverable assets for our clients. If you’re looking for an asset search in Romania, we’ve got you covered.
Locate Investigations
With our investigative skills, we can help you gain addresses and phone numbers for locating individuals. If you are seeking a skip trace in Romania, our locate investigations are unparalleled, including help locating birth parents and lost relatives.
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. Romania’s cybercrime offenses were first set out in Title III of Law No. 161/2003 to implement the Budapest Convention and now sit largely in the Criminal Code, where illegal access to a computer system is Article 360; EDRi reported on the original 2003 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 Romania private investigators, staff, and management all have police and/or military background, Furthermore, they are well versed in local customs, culture, and society.
Romania’s Civil Code (Law No. 287/2009) does not list adultery as a standalone ground for divorce. Where the relationship between spouses is seriously damaged, a court can pronounce divorce by the fault of one or both spouses (Articles 373 and 379), and proof of infidelity can support a fault finding that matters for compensation claims, as the European e-Justice portal summarizes. Custody and parental authority are decided separately, in the child’s best interests, so a fault finding does not automatically decide where a child lives.
Romania’s standard background-check document is the criminal record certificate (certificat de cazier judiciar), issued through the Romanian Police and valid for six months. Each person requests their own certificate, which can be obtained online through ghiseul.ro or the Ministry of Internal Affairs’ hub.mai.gov.ro portal, so employers and business counterparties usually ask the individual to supply it.
Private investigation is a licensed profession in Romania under Law No. 329/2003 on the exercise of the private detective profession. Only professionally certified detectives, who receive an atestat after an examination before a police commission, may practice, and detective firms and individual offices operate under a licence from the General Inspectorate of the Romanian Police. The law limits investigations to listed purposes, bars methods that breach legal norms or people’s rights, and places detectives under police oversight, as the republished text of the law shows.
Personal data is protected by the EU General Data Protection Regulation together with Romania’s Law No. 190/2018, and the regulator is the National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing, known as ANSPDCP.
Article 226 of the Criminal Code penalizes unlawfully recording a private conversation, with prosecution on the injured person’s complaint, and Article 302 penalizes intercepting phone or electronic communications by someone who is not a party to them. Participants are not automatically safe, because the exception in Article 226 applies only where the participant has a legitimate interest, such as preserving evidence of an unlawful act, as one summary of Romania’s recording rules explains. Our investigators and local partners plan any recording around that test.

Law No. 329/2003 lets licensed detectives investigate the conduct and morality of individuals, gather solvency information on individuals or businesses, locate missing persons, investigate assets involved in disputes, and protect businesses from information leaks. Our investigators and local partners cover Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Timișoara, and the surrounding regions.
Yes. Law No. 329/2003 on the exercise of the private detective profession requires detectives to hold a professional atestat, and detective firms and individual offices operate under a licence from the General Inspectorate of the Romanian Police.
Investigations must respect private and family life and must not be contrary to law, national security, public order, or good morals. The law also bars investigating diplomatic staff, certain sensitive personal data, and cases already pending before judicial bodies.
Yes. Personal data in Romania is governed by the EU General Data Protection Regulation and Law No. 190/2018, supervised by ANSPDCP, and our investigators and local partners follow these requirements.
Not safely. Criminal Code Article 226 penalizes unlawfully recording a private conversation, with an exception for a participant who has a legitimate interest, so any recording needs to be planned with that test in mind.
Adultery is not a standalone ground for divorce, but proof of infidelity can support a fault-based divorce finding. Custody is decided separately by the court in the best interests of the child, and investigators can only gather evidence, such as documenting a parent’s living conditions, for the court to weigh.
The standard document is the criminal record certificate (certificat de cazier judiciar), issued through the Romanian Police, valid for six months, and requested by the person concerned.
Romania’s cybercrime offenses, first set out in Law No. 161/2003 and now largely in the Criminal Code, cover illegal access to computer systems and related offenses, and our digital forensic work is designed to operate within them.
There is no standardized pricing structure. Cost depends on the complexity of the case, the investigator’s experience and reputation, and the resources and time required.
Often, yes. Investigators can use database searches, tracing of past addresses, social networks, and discreet inquiries, and success depends on the initial information available and the circumstances of the person’s disappearance.
Yes. Investigators often specialize in corporate and financial fraud, and can conduct surveillance, examine financial records, interview witnesses, and gather evidence that could support legal action or help recover misappropriated assets.
Yes. Insurers can engage investigators to examine suspicious claims, conduct surveillance, verify the circumstances of an alleged accident, or uncover staged incidents.
Possibly. It depends on the type of harassment and the information available, and investigators may be able to trace IP addresses, uncover hidden profiles, or identify behavior patterns, although cyber harassment cases can be complex and may require legal intervention.
