Address Research | Address Investigation

Address investigation is part of the broad service portfolio of our Nuremberg detective agency. A discreet approach as well as fair and transparent fee structures are a matter of course for Kurtz Investigations Nuremberg: +49 911 3782 0154.

Legal Framework for Address Research: Legitimate Interest

When investigating addresses, a distinction must be made between cases with a legitimate interest and those without such an interest. An example of the latter case would be if you wish to know the address of a pleasant gentleman who regularly purchases goods from you or to find the address of a former school friend for a class reunion. In this case, we can determine the address, but we would have to ask the person sought whether we may pass their address on to you, as in this situation the individual’s right to privacy outweighs your wish to know their whereabouts.

If you request an address investigation even though no legitimate interest exists, but the person sought does not consent to the disclosure of their data, we must nevertheless charge you for our work. Our fee is not success-based but activity-based; thus, a fair and transparent overview of costs and a legally compliant approach are guaranteed for our clients. Our IHK-certified private detectives in Nuremberg will be pleased to advise you in detail on this matter in a non-binding initial consultation. Please contact us by telephone on the number given above or use our contact form for your enquiry.

It is often said that, in the course of digitalisation, people have become transparent. Indeed, many individuals can now be found online even by laypersons. However, there are still many people who deliberately make information about their regular whereabouts as inaccessible as possible to third parties.

Legal Provisions in Address Investigation

An example of a case with legitimate interest would be as follows: let us return to the aforementioned persons, but in this case you are searching for the customer because they had goods delivered, failed to pay the invoice and disappeared without trace, or the former school friend spilled red wine over your white jacket at the last class reunion and is attempting to evade covering the cost of a new garment by being untraceable. In such cases, your interest is to be weighted higher than the right of the person sought to their privacy.

In this situation, our qualified Nuremberg detectives will obtain information for you regarding the whereabouts of the person or persons sought. Research in databases and social media, good contacts with authorities and other detective agencies, as well as covert enquiries among relatives, friends and former neighbours are just some of the many methods used to determine an address. Finally, you will receive comprehensive court-admissible evidence material from our qualified private detectives in Nuremberg. We undertake nationwide and cross-border address investigations and are happy to advise you on case-oriented options and the fees involved.
