Why conduct an online dating background check?
If you’ve previously relied on meeting someone at work or chatting to someone at the pub in order to start a relationship, dating apps are a whole new world. This is quite literal – you can connect with pretty much anyone! Whilst this opens up plenty of opportunities to meet The One, there’s also the chance you could encounter those without the same pure intentions you have; they might not even be who they say they are.
This is why an online dating check makes sense; you want to go forward into your dates with confidence, and our UKPI background checks on potential partners can provide you with all the information you need.
Find out who you’re truly talking to
Establishing that you’re not being misled or deceived is critical to a safe and enjoyable dating experience. Unfortunately, some online daters alter their age, manipulate their photos to appear more physically attractive, or, most worryingly of all, create phony identities to exploit unsuspecting users.
Online dating background checks by the professionals
By writing their own profiles, daters can lie about their personal and financial situations, criminal records, and sometimes even their real identities - this happens in over 60% of cases. UKPI’s investigations can uncover the truth, and protect you from wasting your time, being vulnerable with your emotions, or even financial fraud.
Reports based on real information
Our online dating investigations are a reliable way to find out a potential partner’s true credentials. This could include their real name, date of birth, criminal history, court judgements, bankruptcy information, number of children, marital status, credit history, property ownership, and who they live with.
The risks of online dating
Deception
In what’s also known as ‘catfishing’, it can be relatively easy for insincere online daters to fake their profile information, their pictures, or their whole identity.
Safety
When you date online, you’re essentially meeting strangers; this can pose safety risks, including the potential for scams, stalking, or even physical harm.
Emotional vulnerability
There’s no beating about the bush; online dating forces you to ‘get yourself out there’, and if you make short-lived or disingenuous connections, it can play havoc with your emotions.
Specialists in relationship investigations
Catch a cheating partner
Our investigators operate with discretion and professionalism throughout cheating partner and infidelity investigations, remaining unknown to your partner, and able to gather all the evidence you need to know the truth.
Dating site scams
It is a sad fact that some individuals are out to prey on vulnerable people on dating sites. Protect yourself from becoming a victim of dating site scams with our thorough checks designed to help you avoid falling for even the cleverest of romance scams.
Pre-marital investigations
Ensure that the partner you have chosen is trustworthy and transparent before entering into a legally binding union with our comprehensive pre-marital investigations, a service that gives you a true picture of your partner.
The benefits of online dating checks
Dating can be a lonely game, particularly when it comes to taking that scary step from chatting online to meeting in person. By engaging the services of online dating investigators, you’ve got a trustworthy team at your side to ensure you can head to your dates with confidence. This is because UKPI can:
Provide safety assurance: this is either by uncovering red flags such as a violent background, or a discreet presence until you are comfortable meeting your potential partner alone, particularly if you are meeting someone for the first time.
Verify their identity: these simple checks confirm the person’s identity, ensuring they are who they claim to be and are not using fake profiles or aliases.
Provide insight: giving you a heads up on any criminal records, outstanding debt, financial investigations, current or previous marriages, and/or the existence of children
Why hire UKPI?
We know that online dating is all about trust – it’s no different with the private investigators you choose to engage with either. At UKPI, we offer plenty to set your mind at rest, such as over 25 years of experience. We’ve seen the dating game change over that time, and have kept our skills up to date to give those looking for love online the peace of mind they deserve. Our consultations are free, and our pricing is competitive; most importantly of all, our results are thorough and informative.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
When UKPI takes on an online dating case, we’ll typically look into identity verification, criminal records, marital status, employment and financial information, and an analysis of social media or online activity.
No, UKPI conducts all checks discreetly, and the person being investigated will not be notified unless it’s legally required.
This will vary depending on the complexity of the investigation, though in general it can take a few days to a couple of weeks to gather all the information you need.
Signs to look out for include inconsistencies in information they give you, a reluctance to share their personal details, or behavior that raises concerns about honesty or safety.
UKPI pricing varies from investigation to investigation; you’ll receive a tailored quote following our initial consultation.
While it can significantly reduce risk, no background check can guarantee complete safety. However, what UKPI does is provide valuable insight to help you make informed decisions.
We don’t – your initial consultation is free.
UKPI is proud to operate a full national service across the UK, and international coverage when required.

Dating Site Scams

Pre-marital Investigations
