For clients in USA
Private investigator in India for clients in the United States
The largest share of our overseas work comes from the United States — roughly four in ten enquiries that originate abroad. Almost all of it is the same shape: the decision is being made in America, and the facts that would settle it sit in India.
Why Indian American clients commission verification in India
The Indian American population is now well over four million, and its matrimonial, property and family affairs remain substantially anchored in India. That produces a specific and very common problem. A proposal arrives through family in Hyderabad or Ahmedabad. An ancestral property in Punjab needs a signature. An elderly parent's care arrangement needs checking. The person who has to decide is in New Jersey, and every account of the situation reaches them filtered through someone with a view on the outcome.
Distance also removes the informal verification that normally happens in India without anyone calling it that — the cousin who knows the neighbourhood, the colleague who knows the employer, the relative who remembers the family's history. An NRI match is additionally perceived as high value, which reliably attracts overstatement about income, designation, qualifications and property.
What we provide is the independent step. The fieldwork happens in India, the calls happen in your time zone, and the report is written for someone who cannot drop in to ask a follow-up question.
Most requested from USA
- Pre-matrimonial checks on a proposal arranged through family in India
- Locating a defendant or witness in India for US litigation
- Property and inheritance positions for heirs living in the US
- Screening India-based hires, contractors and offshore teams
- Supplier, distributor and joint-venture due diligence in India

Time zones. Our line is answered 24/7. In practice most US clients send a preferred window on WhatsApp and we call inside it — evening Eastern and morning Pacific are both entirely routine.
Before you start
What US clients should know before commissioning work in India
Using what we find in a US case
If the findings may end up in US proceedings, tell us at the start. The report is then written as a factual record of what was checked, where, how and when, and the investigator can swear an affidavit in India. India has been party to the Hague Apostille Convention since 2005, so an Indian affidavit can be apostilled for use in a US court without embassy legalisation. Whether it is admissible, and what weight it carries, is for your US attorney to judge.
Serving US court papers in India
Formal service of a US summons or complaint in India runs through India's Central Authority under the Hague Service Convention: the Department of Legal Affairs in the Ministry of Law and Justice. India has objected to the informal Article 10 channels, so mailing the papers or handing them to a private server is not a substitute, and the formal route can take months. What decides whether it works is an accurate, current address. We locate the defendant and confirm, by visit, that they live or work where the request will say — a request returned as undeliverable costs another round of months.
Screening someone you are hiring in India
India has no national criminal database and no equivalent of a Social Security number trace. Employment is confirmed with past employers, degrees with the issuing university, and court history through the e-Courts records of the districts where the candidate has lived. Every check runs on the candidate's written consent, as India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 expects. If you are a US employer, your own counsel should confirm how the Fair Credit Reporting Act applies to the way you commission and use the report.

Commissioning a case from USA
Most US clients never need to speak to us during Indian office hours. You send a window on WhatsApp — evening Eastern or morning Pacific are both routine — and the investigator handling your case calls inside it. The written scope and fixed quote come by email in rupees with an indicative dollar figure; payment is an international wire to the firm's bank account, never to a person. Reports arrive as a PDF with photographs and documents attached, ready to forward to an attorney without reformatting.

FAQs
Questions from USA clients
We do not replace the Hague Central Authority route, and we will say so plainly. What we do is the part that decides whether that route succeeds: locating the defendant, confirming the address is current, and documenting how we know. Where your court has authorised an alternative method of service, we can carry out a documented personal attempt and the investigator can swear an affidavit describing it. Your US counsel decides which applies.
There is no central marriage register in India to search. Marital status is established the way it is actually known locally: family and neighbourhood enquiry in the home town, court records for any divorce or maintenance case, and registration records where a marriage was registered. If the person lives in the US, our investigators there can check that side at the same time.
Yes, on the client's written instruction. Attorneys usually want the method recorded alongside every finding; HR teams usually want the same format for every candidate. Tell us which, and the report is written that way.
Most verification in India runs five to ten working days from the day the scope is agreed. Where the US side is also being checked, both run in parallel and the combined report usually follows within two to three weeks. Tracing and surveillance are scoped in stages, with a decision point after each, so you never pay for a long search blind.
Quotes are fixed in Indian rupees with an indicative dollar equivalent, and your bank converts at its rate on the day you send the wire. Typical ranges for each service are on our fees page.
