Are you trying to locate someone in Turkey 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 Turkey, 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 Turkey, and every case is scoped with local law in mind from the outset.
Our investigators and local partners work throughout Turkey, including Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir. Istanbul, the country’s largest city and commercial hub, is a major port and financial center, making it a frequent setting for corporate due diligence and trade-related cases. Ankara, the capital and seat of government, generates cases touching official records and employment vetting. Izmir, a leading Aegean port and export center, draws a steady mix of commercial, employment, and personal 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 Turkey 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. Articles 243 and 244 of the Turkish Penal Code criminalize unauthorized access to information systems and interference with systems or data, and our digital forensic work is designed to operate within them.
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 Turkey private investigators, staff, and management all have police and/or military background, Furthermore, they are well versed in local customs, culture, and society.
Article 161 of the Turkish Civil Code names adultery as a specific ground for divorce, which generally must be raised within six months of learning of it and no later than five years after it occurred, while Article 166 provides a separate general ground of irretrievable breakdown, as compared in this study of Turkish divorce grounds. Custody is decided separately on the best interests of the child.
Turkey’s criminal record (adli sicil kaydı) is issued by the Ministry of Justice and can be requested by the person concerned through the e-Devlet government portal. Investigators therefore cannot pull another person’s record, and background checks rely on public records, open sources, and information the client or subject lawfully provides.
Turkey has no law that licenses or defines the profession of private detective, and the work is not itself a crime, according to analysis by a Turkish law firm. A 2011 draft law proposing Interior Ministry supervision was never enacted. The same analysis notes that authority to collect evidence belongs to licensed attorneys, so investigative findings are typically routed through counsel.
Personal data is governed by Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data, amended in 2024, and enforced by the Personal Data Protection Authority. Unauthorized surveillance or collection of personal data can lead to prosecution of both the investigator and the person who hired them.
Articles 132 and 133 of the Turkish Penal Code protect the confidentiality of communications and non-public conversations. Whether a participant who secretly records their own conversation commits an offense is contested, and the Court of Cassation has held that such a recording does not always constitute the Article 133 offense, as discussed in this legal analysis of audio recordings. Recording other people’s conversations as a third party is off-limits, so covert audio is approached only with legal advice.

No. Turkey has no law that licenses or defines the profession of private detective, and a 2011 draft law was never enacted.
