Yes, it’s legal to run a background check on your fiancé. However, your location (i.e., the laws of the relevant state or country) and how you obtain the information are important.
For example, in the UK, if the information was obtained outside of the regulations stipulated by organisations such as the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), DPA (Data Protection Act), ABI (The Association of British Investigators) and The Law Society, your findings are illegal and inadmissible in court.
If you don’t have your fiancé’s permission to conduct a premarital background check, information like credit files and criminal records won’t be available because of data protection laws. For a successful background check, we recommend you consult with or hire a private investigator or legal expert to ensure you comply with all local laws.
