Are you trying to locate someone in Vietnam 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 Vietnam, 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 Vietnam, and every case is scoped with local law in mind from the outset.
Our investigators and local partners work throughout Vietnam, including in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and Da Nang. Ho Chi Minh City, the country’s largest city and its commercial and financial center, is a frequent setting for corporate due diligence and cases involving foreign-invested businesses. Hanoi, the capital and seat of national government, draws cases that touch official records, regulatory filings, and international companies, while Da Nang, the main port and tourism hub of central Vietnam, generates employment, insurance, and personal cases tied to its visitor and outsourcing economy. 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 Vietnam 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. Vietnam’s Law on Cybersecurity (Law No. 116/2025/QH15), in force since 1 July 2026, replaced the 2018 Cybersecurity Law and the 2015 Law on Network Information Security as the main framework for cyber offenses.
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 Vietnam 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 criminal-history document in Vietnam is the Judicial Record Certificate (Phiếu lý lịch tư pháp), issued in two forms: No. 1, the shorter version commonly used for employment, and No. 2, which carries more detailed criminal-record information. The application procedure has been changing, including a shift toward online filing, so applicants should confirm the current channel before applying.
Under the Law on Marriage and Family 2014, a court can grant divorce at one spouse’s request where the other has committed domestic violence or seriously violated the duties of marriage, making the marriage unsustainable, as explained in guidance effective July 2024. Adultery is not listed as a standalone ground, but proof of infidelity can support a finding that spousal duties were seriously violated. Custody is decided separately and follows the interests of the child.
Vietnam has no licensing regime specific to private investigators that we could identify, and investigative firms operate as ordinary registered businesses. The legal status of private detective work is less settled in Vietnam than in most countries, so our investigators and local partners limit their work to lawful information gathering. Debt collection services, by contrast, are an expressly banned business line under the Law on Investment 2020.
Data privacy is governed by the Law on Personal Data Protection (Law No. 91/2025/QH15), which took effect on 1 January 2026 together with its implementing Decree 356/2025/ND-CP. The law replaced the earlier Decree 13/2023 framework and is enforced through the Ministry of Public Security, with stricter rules on consent, sensitive data, and cross-border transfers.
Article 159 of the Penal Code (Law No. 100/2015/QH13) makes it a crime to infringe the secrecy of another person’s correspondence, telephone calls, or other private communications, punishable by a fine or up to three years of non-custodial reform, with imprisonment possible in aggravated cases (see one Vietnamese legal commentary). No statute directly addresses whether a participant may record their own conversation, and published sources disagree, so recordings should be reviewed with a Vietnamese lawyer before they are used as evidence.

It is unsettled. Article 159 of the Penal Code punishes infringing the secrecy of another person’s private communications, but no statute clearly addresses a participant recording their own conversation, so legal advice is recommended before any recording is used.
