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.
