The Process

How NearbySpy Works

NearbySpy makes it simpler to find, vet, and work with a licensed private investigator, from the first search to secure Case delivery.

Step 01

Search Your Area

Enter your city or browse by specialty to find licensed private investigators who serve your jurisdiction.

Step 02

Review Profiles

Compare experience, specialties, service areas, licensing details, profile depth, and verified Client feedback.

Step 03

Send a Case Brief

Share the situation through secure intake so the Investigator can evaluate scope, timing, and next steps.

Step 04

Hire Securely

Confirm the engagement details, communicate in one place, and keep sensitive Case context out of scattered tools.

Step 05

Track Progress

Use the Client dashboard for shared Operations, secure Evidence, progress updates, and professional deliverables.

Step 06

Review and Close

When the Case is complete, review the experience so future Clients can find the right Investigator faster.
