International Due Diligence
When a company or its principals have history abroad, our investigators work with foreign courts, registries, and regulators to find what U.S. screening can’t. Available records and timing vary by country.

A company clears a thorough domestic screen: formation records, criminal history, civil litigation, financial filings, all clean. Months later, a regulatory inquiry reveals the principal had a fraud conviction overseas and a pattern of insolvency filings that never surfaced in any U.S. search.
For organizations running global background checks on cross-border counterparties, conducting international partnership screening, or onboarding vendors with foreign operations, a domestic-only screen leaves an entire layer of risk unexamined. International due diligence closes that gap, extending your investigation into the foreign courts, registries, and regulatory bodies where those records actually live.
Many screening tools and domestic background check providers serve a real purpose for U.S.-based risk assessment. But when a counterparty operates outside of U.S. borders, those tools hit real limits.
Our investigators work directly with foreign courts, corporate registries, insolvency authorities, and regulatory bodies to locate records in the subject's relevant jurisdictions. They navigate local filing systems, legal frameworks, and naming conventions that vary by country. Each finding is verified at the source, translated where needed, and delivered in a plain-English summary with supporting documentation.

Investigator-verified screening — fast automated searches, with any adverse finding confirmed by a licensed investigator before it reaches you.

Everything in Advanced, expanded — multiple jurisdictions, associated entities, name variations, and a deeper lookback for the complete picture.
Before you clear a counterparty with international ties, the question is: what exists in a foreign jurisdiction that a domestic screen may not show? Cover each country tied to your subject’s history and pay only for the coverage you need.
