How do I find a licensed private investigator in Sydney?
To find a licensed private investigator in Sydney, verify their credentials through the correct licensing bodies. In NSW, private investigators must hold a Class 2E Security Licence issued by the Security Licensing & Enforcement Directorate (SLED) under NSW Police — you can check licence status via the Service NSW website. If you also need documents served, confirm the agency holds a separate Commercial Agent Licence through NSW Fair Trading, as process serving requires its own licensing. Look for agencies with experience in your type of case, verified client reviews, transparent pricing, and professional memberships. Truth Investigations holds both a NSW Security Licence (410944186) for private investigation and surveillance work, and a Commercial Agent Corporation Licence (CAL000011789) through NSW Fair Trading for process serving — giving you a single, fully licensed point of contact for investigations and legal document service across Sydney and New South Wales.
Private investigator rates in Sydney typically range from $100 to $250 per hour, depending on the type of investigation. Surveillance operations in Sydney’s busy CBD environment may require additional operatives, which can affect pricing. Truth Investigations offers a free initial consultation with a transparent cost estimate so you understand exactly what you will pay before committing.
Sydney private investigators provide a full range of services including covert surveillance, background checks, infidelity investigations, family law evidence gathering, corporate investigations, digital forensics, missing person searches, process serving, counter-surveillance and bug sweeping, insurance fraud investigations, and litigation support. Truth Investigations offers all of these services from our Sydney office.
In NSW, private investigators must hold a Class 2E Security Licence issued by the Security Licensing & Enforcement Directorate (SLED) under NSW Police — not NSW Fair Trading, which is a common misconception. Investigators who also serve legal documents require a separate Commercial Agent Licence through NSW Fair Trading. A licensed private investigator can lawfully conduct surveillance in public places, perform background checks using publicly available records, serve legal documents (with the appropriate licence), and gather evidence for civil and family law matters. They cannot hack into devices, or impersonate police. Truth Investigations holds both a Class 2E Security Licence (410944186) and a Commercial Agent Corporation Licence (CAL000011789), and operates strictly within NSW law across all investigations.
Yes. Truth Investigations frequently assists Sydney clients with family law matters including custody disputes, property settlements, and evidence gathering for court proceedings. Our Sydney-based investigators are experienced in providing court-admissible evidence that supports family law cases in the Federal Circuit and Family Court.
To verify a private investigator’s credentials in NSW, check their Class 2E Security Licence through the Service NSW website — PI licences are issued by the Security Licensing & Enforcement Directorate (SLED) under NSW Police, not NSW Fair Trading. If the investigator also offers process serving, they should hold a separate Commercial Agent Licence, which you can verify through the NSW Fair Trading licence check tool. You should also ask for their licence numbers directly, check for membership in professional bodies, and look for verified client reviews. Truth Investigations’ NSW Security Licence number is 410944186, and our Commercial AgentCorporation Licence number is CAL000011789 — both are publicly verifiable through the respective government websites.
Yes. Truth Investigations operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We understand that investigation matters can arise at any time, and many surveillance operations need to be conducted outside standard business hours. Call us on 1800 878 847 at any time.
Truth Investigations covers all areas of Sydney, from the CBD and inner suburbs through to the Eastern Suburbs, Northern Beaches, Lower North Shore, Inner West, Canterbury-Bankstown, Western Sydney, Parramatta, Penrith, and surrounding regions.
When evaluating Sydney private detective agencies, look for agencies that hold the correct licences for the services they offer. For investigation and surveillance work, the agency should hold a Class 2E Security Licence issued by SLED under NSW Police. For process serving, they should hold a separate Commercial Agent Licence through NSW Fair Trading. Beyond licensing, check for extensive experience, a track record of successful cases, transparent pricing, 24/7 availability, and membership in professional bodies. Truth Investigations has been serving Sydney clients since 2013, holds NSW Security Licence 410944186 and Commercial Agent Corporation Licence CAL000011789, and has over 5,000 clients nationwide and overseas.
