What are prenuptial background checks?
A prenuptial background check is an investigation that reveals the history, and therefore perhaps the intentions, of your husband or wife to be. As the name suggests, the checks are conducted before you tie the knot, and usually cover areas such as financial health, criminal history, and even whether they’ve been married before, or have children that they haven’t told you about.

We're specialists in pre marital investigations
As one of our more commonly requested services, we carry out a specialist service in conjunction with our international agents based in the Far East, Asia, India and Russia. This service can also be tailored to include the UK and many other countries. We can complete a full pre marital investigation on your partner to verify any details they may have told you.
Personalised pre marital investigations
We provide a personal service as we are aware that this is a situation that needs to be handled with the utmost delicacy. We’ll handle your case with the care and discretion it deserves as we investigate the background of your potential new spouse or family member.
Benefits of prenuptial investigations
1. Peace of Mind
Whether you already have doubts or just want to be cautious, prematrimonial background checks can help set your mind at ease. If an investigation reveals something concerning, you have the opportunity to address it before you or a family member commits to a lifelong legal partnership.
2. Safety
Marrying someone with an undisclosed history of violence could put you at risk. Discovering such information beforehand allows you to assess and address any potential danger, ensuring your safety.
3. Protection of Assets
Your property, possessions, or savings could be at risk if your partner has fraudulent intentions. Uncovering such details before legalizing your relationship could protect you from financial loss and unnecessary stress.
4. Prevention of Future Heartache
While discovering unsettling truths through a background check can be painful, learning them years later could be even more devastating. Being informed before marriage can help prevent regret and emotional distress in the future.
Why are prenuptial background checks needed?
Entering into a marriage with confidence is essential to a long and happy union – you need to be sure that the person you’re marrying is who they say they are, and have disclosed to you all that they need to. A background check can give you this peace of mind, and ensure you’re not marrying someone with dubious financial history, violent or fraud-related criminal convictions, or a secret past that would affect your decision to say ‘I do’.
Why hire UKPI for premarital assessments?
We know that when you or someone in your family is getting married, emotions are heightened, and a pre marital background check can be a big step to take. For such an important investigation, you need an experienced team on hand that you can trust. With over 25 years in the business, we know how to carry out a thorough pre marital investigation swiftly, considerately, and confidentially, acting with utmost discretion at all times.
How we perform premarital investigations
Following a consultation with you, and having got the green light to start our investigation, we use the information you’ve supplied about the person we’re investigating to get going. We’ll use it to carry out criminal record checks, financial and employment enquiries, explore any previous marriages or existing children, look into their social media, and generally collect as much information as legally possible. We do much of our pre marital investigations by accessing databases that aren’t widely available for public use – that’s just one of the benefits of engaging with professional private investigators such as UKPI.

Pre marital private investigation
Is the person really who they say they are? Perhaps they are just interested in obtaining money, a visa, and/or a brand new lifestyle? We can complete pre marital investigations for your peace of mind.

Pre marital investigations with all the facts
Sometimes certain pressures will cause an individual to make a life changing decision without being in possession of the facts. With pre marital investigations being one of our specialties, we understand the many cultural issues surrounding arranged marriages, and also the honour-based restrictions. However,that does not mean you should not have the facts before making a lifelong commitment that is expected of you.


Detailed pre marital reporting by your private detective
Sadly, many people only find out the facts after they have married, when it’s too late, and heartbreak is inevitable. We will provide you with a very detailed pre marital investigation report on their activities, education and prior history. With this service, you will be able to verify as either fact or fiction anything and everything they have told you, even if it was told to you over the phone or online via the internet.
