Docusearch is different than all the other popular search providers. Unlike the others, we are not data providers. Data providers make their money selling subscriptions that allow you to access the database stored on their server. Here lies the problem. Their database (by law) only provides access to public records or publicly available information. Also, their database only contains data that is historic, sometimes months, or even years old.

Unlike the others, Docusearch is staffed by licensed private investigators. Why limit yourself to public records? Docusearch has access to information normally reserved for law enforcement personnel. When conducting a search with us, you are actually hiring a private investigator.

Sure, the others boast “instant results”. They can do this because all the data is stored on their server. If the data you are seeking is not there, you receive nothing. Also, the others require you to do all the searching, often sifting through mounds of irrelevant data just to find your subject. At Docusearch, all searches are researched by hand, by licensed private investigators. We’re not instant, but we’re fast. That’s because we have access to the information you need and know where and how to look.

Docusearch was one of the first private investigative companies on the Internet, established in 1995 and online for the past 19+ years.
