Generating a business card from your profile

NearbySpy can produce a clean, branded business card from the information already on your Investigator profile. This article walks through where to find the generator, what it includes, and how to share the result with prospective Clients.

What the business card is

The generated business card is a compact visual summary of who you are as a licensed investigator: your name, agency, photo, license badge, contact information, primary specialties, and a QR code that links back to your public profile on NearbySpy. It is designed to look at home in court packets, intake folders, networking events, and email signatures, while staying consistent with how your listing appears in the marketplace.

What it pulls from

• Your display name and headshot from your Investigator settings overview.
• Your agency name and address from your business profile.
• Your verified license badges and primary specialties.
• Your preferred contact method — phone, email, or a link to your in-platform inquiry form.
• A scannable code pointing to your public profile.

Generating the card

1. Open your Investigator dashboard and go to your profile area.
2. Choose the business card option from your profile actions.
3. Confirm the data preview — anything that looks wrong should be corrected on the underlying profile first so future cards are accurate.
4. Generate. You will receive a high-resolution image suitable for print and a smaller version sized for email signatures.

Print versus digital

The print version is sized for standard business card stock and uses CMYK-friendly colors. The digital version is RGB and optimized for clarity at small screen sizes. Both share the same QR code so any reader who scans it lands on the same canonical profile URL.

Keeping the card current

Because the card is generated from your live profile, the right way to update it is to update the profile and regenerate. If you change agencies, add a license, or pick up a new specialty, refresh your settings, then create a new card. Your old printed cards will still resolve through the QR code as long as your account remains active and the URL is unchanged.

Where the card fits in your workflow

Most Investigators use the card for three things: (1) attaching to outbound proposals so a prospective Client can verify their counterparty before signing, (2) including in a digital intake confirmation alongside a Case invite — see Inviting a Client when creating a Case — and (3) handing out at industry events alongside printed marketing materials.

Privacy considerations

Anything that appears on your business card is information you have already chosen to publish on your public marketplace listing. It does not expose Case data, Client identities, or anything from your private dashboard. For deeper detail on what is and is not public read Privacy basics for Cases and Evidence.
