Who Are You Looking For

Choose the type of person you are trying to locate in Israel

Finding a person in Israel is rarely a matter of entering a name into a single public database. People may have changed their surname, moved several times, used different spellings in Hebrew and English, or left behind only outdated contact details.

A lawful people search may combine verified records, open-source research, historical information, local inquiries and additional investigative methods appropriate to the case. The available information is first reviewed to determine whether the search is feasible and what further details may be required.

Frid Investigations assists clients outside Israel with locating relatives, former friends, heirs, witnesses, debtors and business contacts. Every search is handled discreetly by licensed Israeli investigators.
