The Night Owls Agency is able to provide investigation services abroad as well as throughout the United States. In an increasingly connected world, the problems that bring people to a private investigator no longer stop at national borders — and neither do we.
Miami is, in many ways, an international city. It’s a hub for commerce, travel, and family ties spanning Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe, and beyond. That makes cross-border investigative needs especially common here: a business partner in another country, assets held offshore, a person who has left the United States, a family matter that spans two nations. Whatever has crossed a border, we have the international reach to follow it.
Among the services we’re able to offer clients internationally are:
Asset searches — locating property, accounts, and business interests held abroad
Background checks — vetting individuals and companies in other countries
Computer forensics and cybercrime investigation — following digital trails that cross borders
Executive protection — security services for individuals traveling or operating abroad
Financial investigations — tracing money and uncovering financial arrangements across jurisdictions
Identity theft investigation — pursuing culprits who operate from overseas
Infidelity investigations — surveillance and inquiry when a subject is abroad
International service of process — serving legal documents in foreign countries under the applicable treaties
Locate and skip trace investigations — finding people who have left the country
Missing persons — international searches for those who have disappeared across borders
Subpoenas and domestication of foreign subpoenas — managing the cross-jurisdictional documentation
Video and photo surveillance — documentation abroad through our affiliate network
International work is not simply domestic investigation performed farther away. It carries its own distinct challenges, and understanding them is part of why professional handling matters so much.
Different legal systems. Every country has its own laws governing privacy, surveillance, records access, and what an investigator may and may not do. What’s routine in one jurisdiction may be restricted in another. Effective international work means operating correctly within each country’s legal framework — which requires people who actually know those frameworks.
Language and local knowledge. Navigating foreign records systems, interviewing local sources, and understanding cultural context all require genuine local capability. A distant investigator working blind is far less effective than one with real presence and understanding on the ground.
Access to local records and systems. Public records that are straightforward to obtain in the United States may be organized entirely differently — or far less accessible — elsewhere. Knowing how to obtain information in a given country is a specialized skill in itself.
This is why our international capability rests on a network of trusted affiliates around the world. Rather than parachuting in without context, we work with vetted professionals who understand their own country’s systems, laws, and language — and who perform to the same standards we hold ourselves to domestically. You get local expertise with the coordination and accountability of working through a single firm you already trust.
The cross-border matters we’re asked to help with tend to fall into a few recurring categories:
Business and financial. Due diligence on a foreign company before a deal, investigating an overseas business partner, tracing assets moved or hidden offshore, or uncovering financial arrangements that span jurisdictions. As global business becomes routine even for smaller companies, so does the need to verify who and what you’re dealing with abroad.
Locating people abroad. Finding someone who has left the country — a missing family member, a debtor who’s fled a judgment, a witness needed for a case, a birth relative in another nation, or a parent who has taken a child across borders. Our international locating and skip-trace resources can pick up a trail that goes cold at the U.S. border.
Legal and litigation support. Serving process abroad, domesticating foreign subpoenas, and gathering evidence in other countries to support litigation at home. (For the specifics of serving legal documents overseas, see our International Service of Process page.)
Personal and family. Infidelity when a partner travels or lives abroad, verifying the circumstances of someone your family member met overseas, or other deeply personal matters that happen to cross a border.
The temptation, when a problem crosses borders, is either to give up — assuming it’s hopeless once someone or something has left the country — or to hire separate, unconnected providers in each country and try to coordinate them yourself. Both are mistakes.
A great many international matters are entirely solvable with the right resources. And handling them through a single firm with an established affiliate network means you have one point of contact, one consistent standard of work, and one team coordinating the whole effort on your behalf — rather than a patchwork of strangers you have to manage across time zones and languages. We handle that coordination so you don’t have to.
Can you really investigate in other countries?
Yes. Through our network of vetted international affiliates, we conduct investigations across much of the world, coordinated through our office so you deal with one trusted point of contact.
Someone I’m looking for left the U.S. Is it hopeless?
Not at all. International locating and skip tracing is a core part of our cross-border work. A trail that goes cold at the border often picks right back up with the right international resources.
Do you handle international business due diligence?
Yes — vetting foreign companies and partners, tracing offshore assets, and conducting financial investigations across jurisdictions are common requests.
How do you handle different countries’ laws?
By working through local affiliates who know their own country’s legal framework, so the work is done correctly and lawfully in each jurisdiction.
