At CambodiaPI, we specialise in thorough and discreet background check services in Cambodia for individuals, law firms, NGOs, and international businesses. Whether you need to verify a person’s identity, assess someone's personal or financial history, or investigate a potential partner or employee, we deliver fast, lawful, and accurate results.
Our local Khmer investigators, supported by experienced case managers, conduct real investigations using real sources—there are no automated reports or unreliable databases. Every case is approached with attention to detail, cultural awareness, and discretion.
Why Conduct a Background Check in Cambodia?
Cambodia presents unique risks when it comes to identity, employment, and financial verification. False documents, hidden relationships, undeclared legal histories, and fake qualifications are not uncommon, and many records are not publicly available or digitised.
That’s why conducting a background check in Cambodia requires more than just an online search. It requires people on the ground who understand the language, culture, and how to access information through official channels, informal networks, and careful verification.
Situations Where Background Checks Are Essential
- Hiring an employee – confirm work history, qualifications, and criminal record
- Starting a relationship or marriage – verify marital status, past partners, and financial standing
- Entering a business agreement – ensure legitimacy of a company or potential partner
- Land and property transactions – check ownership, liens, or family claims
- NGO or volunteer onboarding – protect vulnerable groups from predatory behaviour
- Due diligence before investment – confirm integrity of shareholders, directors, and financial records
- Litigation or legal support – establish facts about witnesses, claimants, or defendants
What We Can Investigate
We tailor each background check based on the client’s needs and the profile of the subject. Areas of investigation may include:
- Identity verification – including national ID, passport, or alias checks
- Marital history and relationships – including previous marriages or dependents
- Employment history and qualifications – identifying false or inflated claims
- Reputation enquiries – via community contacts, employers, and local sources
- Business and company records – shareholder information, registration checks
- Legal records – lawsuits, criminal allegations, civil disputes, court outcomes
- Financial and asset checks – properties, vehicles, debt, or hidden interests
- Online behaviour and presence – social media, forums, known aliases
Who Uses Our Services?
We support a wide range of clients who need verified information before making personal or professional decisions. These include:
- Private individuals involved in relationships, marriages, or custody cases
- Foreign companies entering Cambodian markets or hiring local staff
- Law firms preparing for litigation or due diligence investigations
- NGOs working with volunteers or safeguarding programmes
- Private investigators outsourcing local fieldwork
- Expats concerned about a romantic partner’s past or financial behaviour
Our Background Check Process
All background checks begin with a consultation to understand your objectives and the subject’s details. We then assign our in-house Khmer team to carry out fieldwork, records checks, and source interviews. Our process includes:
- Review of documents and available data
- On-the-ground checks at relevant addresses, workplaces, or offices
- Confidential community-level reputation enquiries
- Verification of any stated employment or education claims
- Social media and online footprint analysis
Our findings are compiled into a professionally written report with relevant attachments, translations (if needed), and our assessment of credibility or risk.
