Investigative Services for the Louisville, Kentucky Metro
Louisville, KY clients are served from our Indiana headquarters. Cheshire is an Indiana-licensed firm based in Greenville, Indiana, and does not claim a Kentucky private investigator license.
Louisville is in Kentucky
Louisville is in Jefferson County, Kentucky, across the Ohio River from New Albany and Jeffersonville. It is not a city in Indiana. Cheshire Investigation Agency’s headquarters is in Greenville, Indiana (Floyd County).
Our private investigator license is Indiana license PI22500020. We do not hold, and we do not claim, a Kentucky private investigator license. An Indiana license is not a Kentucky license. Kentucky licenses investigators under KRS Chapter 329A through the Kentucky Board of Licensure for Private Investigators.
How we help people in the Louisville metro
People in the Louisville metro still call this office, and many of their questions can be answered without anyone crossing the river. Online skip tracing, nationwide background checks, asset and public-record research, and identity theft timelines are records work. We do that work from our Indiana office, for clients wherever they live, with a permissible purpose under the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Many Louisville-area matters also have an Indiana side: a spouse who moved to Clarksville, a witness who works in Jeffersonville, a business with property in Floyd County, or a claimant who lives in Southern Indiana. Surveillance, in-person verification, and process serving at those Indiana addresses are handled under our Indiana license, just as they would be for any Indiana client.
When the work is in Kentucky
If a matter needs fieldwork at a Kentucky address, such as surveillance, a door knock, or in-person interviews in Louisville, we say so at the start and explain what Kentucky requires before anyone is sent, including whether a Kentucky-licensed investigator has to do that part of the work. We would rather tell you that on the first call than sell you an assignment we should not perform.
How to start
Every case starts with a free consultation, and the quote is given during that call. Call (812) 364-1466 or use confidential intake. Tell us which addresses are in Kentucky and which are in Indiana, what you need to know, and whether an attorney represents you. We are a member of INspi and NCISS. The regional page for our Indiana work is the private investigator in Southern Indiana hub, and nearby Indiana town pages include New Albany, Jeffersonville, Clarksville, and Greenville.
