How Long Does a Private Investigation Take?

Wondering how long it takes to get answers from a private investigator? Here’s what affects investigation timelines. 

The length of an investigation depends on several key factors: 

• Complexity of the case (e.g., infidelity vs. fraud)
• Availability of information (some records are faster to access than others)
• Amount of surveillance required
• Client responsiveness and goal clarity

 Typical cases can range from a few days to a few weeks. At Safe Keeping, we explain the likely timeline at your initial consultation so you know exactly what to expect. Book your consult—we’ll map out a realistic timeline for your case.
