Our Safe Date Check is a specialized service designed to help you verify someone you met online or through dating apps before meeting in person or advancing the relationship. The Basic package covers core identity and criminal checks, while the Elite package includes deeper social media review, court records, bankruptcy, and asset information.

We provide transparent, case-specific quotes after an initial confidential consultation — no surprises. Contact us for a no-obligation discussion of your situation and pricing.
6. How long does a typical investigation take?
Timelines depend on the case. A Safe Date Check or basic background verification can often be completed in a few days.

Washington-licensed PIs can conduct surveillance in public places, perform background checks using public records and legal databases, locate people, interview witnesses, and provide consulting.
