Privin Network provides private investigation services in Singapore, 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 Singapore, and every case is scoped with local law in mind from the outset.
Our investigators and local partners work throughout Singapore, including in Bedok, Jurong, and Tampines. Bedok, the most populous town in the East Region, is where much of the caseload involves personal and family matters. Jurong grew from the 1960s into the heart of Singapore’s western industrial belt, which makes it a frequent setting for employment and corporate cases. Tampines is the regional centre of the east and one of the most populous planning areas in the country, drawing a mix of corporate, employment, and personal cases. Wherever your case is based, our investigators and local partners know the area.
Looking for a trustworthy Singapore Private Investigator? When you need answers and peace of mind, trust local partner investigation agencies licensed by Singapore’s Police Licensing & Regulatory Department (PLRD). Our firm and our local partners work in line with local regulations, and evidence is gathered with its use in legal proceedings in mind. Our investigators and local partners are experienced in handling sensitive cases across Singapore, and we operate with absolute discretion and professionalism. Whether you’re concerned about infidelity, corporate fraud, a child custody dispute or a missing person, we can help you uncover the truth.
Our success is based on your success, and here are some of the many professional services our local private detectives in Singapore 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. Singapore’s Computer Misuse Act 1993 criminalizes unauthorised access to computer material, unauthorised modification of its contents, and unauthorised use or interception of a computer service.
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.
Divorce in the Family Courts rests on a single ground, the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, which must be shown through one of five facts: adultery (with the petitioner finding it intolerable to live with the spouse), unreasonable behaviour, desertion for 2 years, separation for 3 years with consent or 4 years without it, or mutual agreement. The Singapore Courts’ own guide adds that spouses must generally have been married for at least 3 years before they can file without permission.
Custody (who makes the major decisions), care and control (who looks after the children day to day), and access are ancillary matters the court decides alongside the divorce, separately from the fact relied on to prove the breakdown.
The standard criminal-record document is the Certificate of Clearance, issued by the Criminal Investigation Department of the Singapore Police Force to certify that a person has no criminal records in Singapore within a stated period. Applicants must be at least 16 and must have resided, worked, or studied in Singapore for at least six months, and the police application page directs applicants to log in with Singpass or a FIN.
Private investigation is a licensed activity in Singapore. Under the Private Security Industry Act 2007, the Police Licensing & Regulatory Department of the Singapore Police Force requires a Private Investigator’s licence for anyone employed to obtain and give information about a person, search for missing persons, or obtain evidence for civil or criminal proceedings, and the police licensing page states that a licensed investigator may not solicit for services on his own, because only the holder of a Private Investigation Agency licence can advertise.
A Private Investigation Agency licence has its own conditions: the agency licensing page requires at least two directors or partners, all of them Singapore Citizens or Permanent Residents holding valid Private Investigator’s licences, and at least one certified in the WSQ module on performing investigation activities in compliance with legal requirements. Because of these requirements, the licences sit with Singapore-based agencies, which is why Privin Network works through local licensed partners.
Personal data is governed by the Personal Data Protection Act 2012, enforced by the Personal Data Protection Commission. An overview of the Act explains that it regulates how organisations collect, use, and disclose personal data, so our investigators and local partners treat any collection of identifiable personal data as subject to it.
Singapore has no wiretapping statute that prohibits a participant from recording their own conversation, so for individuals it works in practice like a one-party consent rule. A summary of Singapore’s recording rules notes the limits: organisations recording people are subject to PDPA consent and notification, voyeurism offences in the Penal Code and the Protection from Harassment Act 2014 apply, and sharing a confidential recording can lead to liability for breach of confidence.
Our trained and experienced Singapore private investigators, staff, and management all have police and/or military background, Furthermore, they are well versed in local customs, culture, and society.

While the needs and motivations can be vastly different, the commonality in all these scenarios is the need for discreet, professional, and effective investigation services to gather information or evidence that the clients cannot obtain on their own due to legal, resource, or time constraints. Private investigators in Singapore operate within a strict legal framework to ensure that the privacy laws and regulations are adhered to, helping keep the investigation ethical and the evidence gathered suitable for use in any potential legal proceedings.
Yes. The Private Security Industry Act 2007 requires a Private Investigator’s licence for individual investigators and a Private Investigation Agency licence for firms, both issued through the Police Licensing & Regulatory Department of the Singapore Police Force. Directors of an agency must be Singapore Citizens or Permanent Residents, so the licences are held by local agencies, and Privin Network works through licensed local partners.
Our investigators and local partners handle personal data in line with the Personal Data Protection Act 2012, which is enforced by the Personal Data Protection Commission and regulates how organisations collect, use, and disclose personal data.
Singapore has no wiretapping statute that prohibits a participant from recording their own conversation, but organisations are subject to PDPA consent and notification rules, and voyeurism, harassment, and breach of confidence laws still apply. Our investigators and local partners do not record private spaces or conversations they are not part of.
Adultery is one of the facts that can prove the single ground for divorce, the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, as long as the petitioner finds it intolerable to live with the spouse. Custody, care and control, and access are decided as separate ancillary matters alongside the divorce.
The standard criminal-record document is the Certificate of Clearance issued by the Criminal Investigation Department of the Singapore Police Force, applied for online with Singpass or a FIN. Applicants must be at least 16 and have lived, worked, or studied in Singapore for at least six months.
The Computer Misuse Act 1993 criminalizes unauthorised access to computer material, unauthorised modification, and unauthorised use or interception of a computer service, so digital forensic work by our investigators and local partners is limited to data and devices they are authorised to examine.
