The question this answers

"Before I marry, cohabit, or commit financially with this person — who are they really?"

The Greyline Pre-Commitment Vetting is the most comprehensive pre-commitment investigation we offer. It is built for the moment before a major life decision: marriage, cohabitation, joint property purchase, business partnership with a romantic partner, sponsorship of a partner's visa, or relocation to a new country to be with someone. These are the decisions that, if they go wrong, are catastrophic, financially, emotionally, and legally, and the cost of the investigation is a fraction of the cost of being wrong.

The investigation runs across five distinct layers: a full digital footprint sweep, behavioural intelligence analysis, identity and document verification, criminal and legal record checks, and where required, physical field verification in the subject's country of origin. Every finding is sourced, cross-referenced, and delivered in an annotated court-ready PDF report, concluded with a 60-minute debrief call with the lead analyst.

What is included

The complete scope.

Layer 1 — Digital Footprint
  • Full social media audit. Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube, Pinterest. Public posts, photo galleries, group memberships, location check-ins, and historical activity.
  • Compromising or reputationally sensitive content. Posts, images, videos, opinions, and statements that contradict the subject's presented character, surfaced, documented, and assessed.
  • Username and alias discovery. Known handles and derived aliases searched systematically across 300+ platforms — mainstream networks, niche forums, professional directories, gaming platforms, and diaspora-specific communities.
  • Dating platform sweep. Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, Ashley Madison, Seeking Arrangement, Grindr, Badoo, Plenty of Fish, and diaspora-specific platforms. Active, dormant, and traces of deleted accounts where digital residue remains accessible.
  • Lifestyle platform sweep. Adult lifestyle and swinger communities, Fab Swingers, FetLife, Kasidie, and equivalent platforms, where the subject's public presence contradicts the life they have described.
  • Adult content platform sweep. OnlyFans, Fansly, Chaturbate, Pornhub, and publicly indexed escort directories including AdultWork and Vivastreet. Conducted where profiles are publicly accessible. The purpose is not judgement, it is to ensure the life the subject has presented is the life they are actually living.
  • Reverse image search. Every public-facing photograph reverse-searched across major and specialist engines, detecting identity theft, multi-profile deception across different names, and AI-generated or stolen images.
  • Forum, directory and public mention checks. Reddit (full indexed posting history), community forums, complaints databases, and news archives referencing the subject by name, handle, or associated identifier.
  • Professional platform checks. LinkedIn employment history consistency, Glassdoor reviews authored by the subject, Indeed activity, and professional directory listings.
  • Fitness and location platforms. Strava, AllTrails, TripAdvisor, and Google Maps review history. Location patterns and lifestyle consistency checked against the subject's stated life.
  • Gambling behaviour indicators. Public betting forums, gambling community activity on Reddit, self-exclusion references, and financial distress signals suggesting problem gambling or betting-related debt.
Layer 2 — Behavioural Intelligence
  • Behavioural profile. Digital habits, communication patterns, posting cadence, timezone and language signatures, and lifestyle signals, assembled into a coherent picture of who the subject is when they are not presenting themselves to you.
  • Deducible intelligence. Inferred patterns, hidden associations, and lifestyle indicators that emerge from cross-referencing the full digital footprint. What the data implies, not just what it states.
  • Digital Behaviour Intelligence Report. Persona analysis, authenticity assessment, consistency scoring, and structured risk profiling, the analytical layer that turns raw findings into actionable intelligence.
Layer 3 — Identity & Document Verification
  • Marriage and divorce record verification. Confirming the subject is legally free to marry, prior marriages, current marital status, and undisclosed prior relationships checked against the public record where lawfully accessible. Where records are not accessible in the relevant jurisdiction, the limitation is explained in full.
  • Document authentication. Academic certificates, employment letters, birth certificates, prior divorce decrees, and any documents the subject has presented to the client — verified against issuing authority records with forgery detection included.
  • Professional licence verification. Claimed professional status confirmed or disproved against GMC, SRA, NMC, FCA, and international regulatory equivalents. One of the most commonly falsified elements in cross-border relationships.
Layer 4 — Criminal & Legal Record Checks
  • UK checks. DBS check (Basic, Standard, or Enhanced where applicable), CCJ search, bankruptcy and insolvency register, disqualified directors register, and sanctions and PEP screening.
  • Sex offender register check. UK, US, Canada, and Australia, all publicly searchable registers checked as standard.
  • Country-of-origin equivalents. Nigeria Police Clearance, FBI Identity History Summary (US), Police Certificate (India), and jurisdiction-specific criminal record equivalents for other countries. Where a certificate requires the subject's own application, we advise the client accordingly.
  • Adverse media screening. Structured search of news archives, court reporting, and complaints databases across all known jurisdictions, surfacing findings that formal record checks may not capture.
Layer 5 — Physical & Field Verification
  • Family and associate verification. Confirming stated family members exist, are related as claimed, and the subject's social circle is consistent with the life they have described. Discrepancies here are often the clearest signal that a constructed identity is in play.
  • Source-country field verification. Physical, boots-on-the-ground verification in the subject's home country — address, employer, family, and prior relationships. Conducted via Greyline's network of trusted in-country investigators. Timelines and costs for field verification are confirmed at intake.
  • Neighbourhood and community enquiries. Local knowledge checks in the subject's home area — reputation, known associates, prior relationships, and whether the subject's stated story is consistent with what people who actually know them say.
Deliverables
  • Annotated, PDF evidence report. Every finding sourced, dated, and presented in a format suitable for civil proceedings — divorce petitions, prenuptial disputes, financial remedy applications, and matters where the credibility of the report itself will be tested.
  • 30-minute debrief call. Findings presented, questions answered, recommendations explained.
