Polygraph and Lie Detector Testing in Dundee
Every week, people in Dundee search for a polygraph test because they need the truth about something that matters: a relationship, a family fallout, money that has gone missing, an accusation that will not go away. We provide professional lie detector testing to answer exactly those questions.
Wherever in Dundee you are, the appointment comes to you. We test in homes and in private venues - hotel meeting rooms, business centre suites - and the same professional protocol applies in every location.
A professional test is not about catching anyone. It is about ending the doubt.
The Process
What Happens During a Polygraph Test in Dundee
If you are researching a polygraph lie detector test in Dundee, it helps to know exactly what the appointment involves. A professional examination follows the same broad structure wherever you go, and ours is built around three clear stages.
The pre-test consultation
The examiner discusses the issue under investigation and agrees every question with you in advance. There are no surprise questions in a professional test. This stage matters more than any other, because a well-defined single issue with precisely worded questions is what separates a reliable examination from a vague one.
The test itself
The subject is fitted with sensors and the agreed questions are presented in a controlled sequence while their responses are recorded. The session is calm and structured - no interrogation tactics, no pressure. Most appointments take between one and three hours from arrival to debrief depending on the complexity of the case.
Analysis and the written result
After the session the recorded data is analysed and the result is reported, followed by a written results certificate setting out the method, the questions examined and the conclusion in plain English. You are not left interpreting jargon: the report tells you what was asked and what the data showed.
Pricing
How Much Does a Polygraph Test Cost in Dundee?
Private polygraph tests in the UK typically cost between £400 and £700 for a single-issue examination, and because the industry is unregulated there is no standard pricing. Some providers add substantial extras for home visits, evening appointments or urgent bookings, so the advertised price is not always the price you pay.
With us, Dundee clients pay from £499 all-in: the visit, the examination, and the written certificate. Urgent appointments are available, and the price we quote before booking is the price you pay on the day.
Suspicion corrodes everything it touches. A documented answer lets you move forward.
Before You Book
Six Questions to Ask Any Polygraph Provider in Dundee
Before you pay anyone in Dundee for a test, put these questions to them. A good provider will answer every one in writing without hesitation.
- Is the test limited to one clearly defined issue? Multi-issue examinations are the main cause of unreliable results.
- Are all the questions agreed with you in advance? There should be no surprise questions on the day.
- What exactly does the price include? Travel, the venue, urgent slots and the written report should all be stated before you pay.
- What method is used, and what does it measure? You should know whether it is a traditional polygraph or another technique before you book.
- What will the written result say? Ask how the report sets out the method, the questions and the conclusion.
- Who sees the result, and how is your information kept? Results should go only to the person who commissioned the test.
Step by Step
From Booking to Written Result in Dundee
1. Book online or by phone
Choose a date and time, and tell us whether you want the test at home in Dundee or at a private venue nearby.
2. Define the issue and agree the questions
Before any testing starts, the examiner talks the matter through with you and every question is agreed. Nothing is asked that you have not seen.
3. The appointment
A calm, structured session at your home or a discreet venue in Tayside. The examiner arrives unmarked and nothing about the visit draws attention.
4. The written result
A results certificate setting out the method, the questions examined and the conclusion, in plain English.
Common Cases
What Can a Polygraph Test Help With?
Lie detector testing is used every day across Dundee and the rest of the UK to settle questions that conversation alone cannot. These are the situations we are asked about most:
- Cheating partner concerns - the single most common reason people book a test
- Family disputes - missing money, broken trust, and accusations between relatives
- Workplace accusations - theft, misconduct claims and clearing an employee's name
- Corporate investigations - internal theft, data leaks and pre-employment screening
- Insurance fraud - verifying or challenging suspect claims
- Private matters - any personal question where you need a documented answer
Know What You Are Booking
Polygraph or EEG-Based Lie Detector Test?
Before you book anything in Dundee, it is worth knowing what is actually being measured. A polygraph and an EEG-based test approach the same question from different directions.
| Traditional polygraph | EEG-based test (ours) | |
|---|---|---|
| What it measures | Breathing, heart rate, blood pressure and sweat response | The brain's recognition response (the P300 signal) to specific details |
| Equipment | Chest straps, a blood pressure cuff and finger sensors | A lightweight EEG headset |
| Effect of nerves | Anxiety raises the same signals the test reads | Measures recognition, not general stress |
| Typical session | Often two to three hours | Typically 60 to 90 minutes |
| Questions agreed in advance | Depends on the provider | Always |
| Written result | Depends on the provider | Always, with every test |
The full side-by-side explanation is on our Polygraph vs P300 page.
Getting Ready
Raising a Test and Preparing for the Day
How you raise a test shapes how it goes. Name the one issue, explain that every question is agreed in advance, and agree up front who sees the written result and when.
For employers in Dundee: make the invitation in writing, make clear the test is voluntary, and take HR or legal advice before treating a refusal as relevant to any decision.
On the day, the person being tested should
- Get a normal night's sleep beforehand
- Avoid alcohol and recreational drugs
- Take any prescribed medication as normal and tell the examiner about it
- Bring photo ID
- Allow the full appointment time without rushing off to something else

The Facts
Polygraph Accuracy and UK Law
Two questions come up before almost every Dundee booking: how accurate is the test, and can the result be used in court? Both deserve straight answers.
No credible provider quotes a single accuracy number without context, because accuracy depends on protocol. Our approach for Dundee clients is the one the research supports: one clearly defined issue per examination, questions agreed in advance word for word, and a consistent documented procedure.
Scotland has its own legal system, and private polygraph results carry no evidential standing in Scottish criminal courts. Scotland has not adopted the statutory polygraph testing of offenders on licence used in England and Wales. Private testing in Dundee is unregulated, so the discipline of the examination - one issue, agreed questions, a written report that states its limits - is what gives a result its practical value.
What private test reports are used for, every day, is informing personal decisions, resolving family and relationship disputes, and supporting internal workplace and business investigations - situations where a documented professional finding carries real practical weight even though it is not a court exhibit.

Polygraph Testing Dundee: Your Questions Answered
Straight answers to the questions Dundee clients ask before booking a lie detector test.
Can you beat a polygraph test?
Countermeasures are widely discussed online, and examiners are trained to look for them. A test built on one clearly defined issue with agreed questions leaves far less room for them, and an examiner who detects an attempt will record it.
What is the difference between a polygraph and a lie detector test?
A polygraph is one kind of lie detector test - the traditional kind, measuring breathing, heart rate, blood pressure and sweat response. Lie detector test is the wider term and also covers newer methods, including the EEG-based test we use.
Can a test result be used in a family court?
Not as proof in the usual sense. Family and civil courts decide case by case what weight, if any, to give a private report, and most give it little. Its practical value is usually in settling the matter before it ever reaches court.
How much does a polygraph test cost in Dundee?
Private polygraph tests in the UK typically cost between £400 and £700 for a single-issue examination, with extra charges common for home visits or urgent appointments. Our professional lie detector tests for Dundee start from £499 with coverage included, and urgent same-day and next-day appointments are available.
How accurate is polygraph testing?
Accuracy depends heavily on the method, the protocol and the examiner. Practitioner bodies report high accuracy for well-run single-issue examinations, while independent academic reviews are more conservative. Test design matters enormously, which is why we build every examination around a single clearly defined issue with questions agreed in advance.
Can I have a lie detector test at home in Dundee?
Yes. Home visits are available across Dundee at no loss of professionalism or discretion. If you would rather not test at home, we arrange a private local venue instead - typically a hotel meeting room or business centre close to you.
Do I get a written result?
Yes. Every test includes a written results certificate setting out the method, the questions examined and the conclusion, in plain English that a layperson can follow.
Where does the test take place if not at home?
We arrange a discreet private venue near you in Dundee - typically a hotel meeting room or a business centre suite. You tell us your postcode and how far you are willing to travel, and we handle the rest.
Does nervousness affect a polygraph result?
A traditional polygraph reads breathing, heart rate, blood pressure and sweat response, and nerves raise all of those. That is why a calm pre-test stage matters, and why some people in Dundee choose an EEG-based test, which measures recognition rather than general stress.
How do I ask my partner to take a test?
Keep it to one specific issue, offer to agree the questions together in advance, and agree that you will both see the written result at the same time. A calm, specific request is far more likely to be accepted than an ultimatum.
