Privin Network provides private investigation services in Puerto Rico, connecting clients with investigators and local partners experienced in background checks, surveillance, infidelity investigations, corporate due diligence, and international cases. Private investigation is a licensed profession in Puerto Rico, where detectives and detective agencies must hold a license issued by the Superintendent of the Puerto Rico Police Bureau.
Our investigators and local partners work throughout Puerto Rico, including in San Juan, Bayamón, Carolina, and Ponce. San Juan, the capital and seat of government, is the island’s financial and administrative center, making it a frequent setting for corporate due diligence and cases touching official records. Bayamón, a large municipality in the San Juan metropolitan area, is where much of the caseload involves personal and employment matters. Carolina, home to Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport, draws locate and cross-border cases tied to travel. Ponce, the largest city on the island’s southern coast, brings family and business investigations from the south. Wherever your case is based, our investigators and local partners know the area.
Our clients enjoy the distinguished services performed by our professional Puerto Rico Private Investigator(s). They receive from us unique and effective methods that have been honed through years of case-by-case success. Responding to our clients’ needs with planned, well-considered solutions that are designed to meet their needs have been our focus since inception. Most of our work is conducted behind the scenes, which helps contribute to the success of our clients. Our PRIVIN team of professional Private Investigators in Puerto Rico are uniquely qualified to determine where things are coming from and why. Our trained private detectives are experienced in information gathering and verifying confidential information that can help you determine the truth concerning a targeted person, organization, or business. If you need help with a personal investigation in Puerto Rico, our agency can empower you with the knowledge you need to make informed decisions.
Our success is based on your success, and here are some of the many professional services our local Puerto Rico 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. In Puerto Rico, unauthorized computer access falls under the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and a bill filed in the Puerto Rico Senate in January 2026 would add a dedicated cybercrime title to the island’s Penal Code.
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 Puerto Rico 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 Puerto Rico is the Certificado de Antecedentes Penales, issued by the Puerto Rico Police Bureau, which Canada’s immigration guidance says can be requested at any police department, by mail or online. Third-party employment screening reports are also subject to the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, which applies in Puerto Rico as it does in the states.
Puerto Rico’s Civil Code of 2020, in effect since November 28, 2020, allows divorce on two bases, as Metro Puerto Rico reported: irreparable breakdown of the marriage or mutual consent. Infidelity therefore does not need to be proven to obtain a divorce.
Custody is decided with the best welfare of the child as the guide, and Ley 223 of 2011 declares public policy in favor of considering shared custody when a marriage or consensual union ends.
Private investigation is a licensed profession in Puerto Rico. Under Ley 108 of 1965, it is illegal to work as a private detective or to operate a detective agency without a license from the Superintendent of the Puerto Rico Police Bureau. Individual applicants must be adults and citizens of both the United States and Puerto Rico, must pass a written examination, and must post a bond or insurance policy, and licensed detectives must complete continuing education every two years to renew.
Puerto Rico does not have a single comprehensive data protection statute comparable to the European Union’s GDPR. Its main data-security rule is Ley 111 of 2005, which requires an entity that holds personal information to notify affected residents and the Department of Consumer Affairs (DACO) of a security breach within 10 days of detecting it, and federal laws such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act also apply on the island.
Recording a telephone call in Puerto Rico requires the consent of every party. Under Ley 66 of 1953, no one, including a participant in the call, may record a telephone communication by mechanical means without the express consent of all parties, violations are punishable by a fine of up to $5,000 and imprisonment, and courts may not admit evidence obtained in violation of the law. The statute addresses telephone communications, so our investigators and local partners handle recordings of in-person conversations conservatively and only where consent or a clear legal basis exists.
