Lie detector in San Marino: specialist visit or online test today

Questions about the test in San Marino

• Where can I take a lie detector test in San Marino?

  We have no office in San Marino, so there are two options. You can take the VerifEye online test today on your phone, in a quiet room at home or at work. The EyeDetect test takes place during a specialist visit, in your office or a rented room in San Marino. A quiet room with a table, a chair and a power outlet is enough for the test.

• How much does a polygraph test cost in San Marino?

  VerifEye online test: UAH 2,500 (≈ €49) for one question, UAH 4,000 (≈ €78) for three, UAH 6,000 (≈ €116) for six, with no extra charges. EyeDetect with a visit: from UAH 10,000 (≈ €194) for one question and UAH 15,000 (≈ €291) for three, plus travel from Lviv and the venue. Prices are in hryvnias; euro amounts are approximate, at the NBU rate of 15.09.2026.

• How long is the wait for a visit to San Marino, and how does it work?

  We plan trips to San Marino once several requests come in from the region, so we cannot tell you in advance how long the wait will be. Once the date is agreed, a specialist comes from Lviv with EyeDetect equipment, and the test takes place in your office or a rented room. If you need an answer sooner, you can take the VerifEye online test today: the test takes 15–20 minutes, the PDF report comes within 5 minutes after the test, and the specialist explains it the same day.

• How long does the specialist's trip to San Marino take, and what does a ticket cost?

  There is no direct bus from Lviv to San Marino, so the journey always runs through Rimini or Bologna. Without a flight the train is fastest: from Lviv via Przemyśl, Kraków, Vienna and Bologna to Rimini takes about 26 hours 45 minutes with four changes. There is no through ticket, so the tickets are bought separately and we did not check the total fare. From Rimini station the Bonelli Bus shuttle reaches San Marino in 55 minutes for €7 (≈ UAH 361) one way, with departures from 08:00 to 19:00 on the timetable for 15 September — 7 November 2026. Together that is about 29 hours from Lviv. Flying is quicker, though the time depends on the connection: a bus to Kraków (6–11 hours, €23–41, ≈ UAH 1,210–2,110) and a Ryanair flight to Bologna (1 hour 45 minutes, fares from about €15) or to Rimini (from €17, ≈ UAH 875; in October only on Wednesdays and Saturdays, last flight 24 October 2026). A 20 kg bag for the equipment is not included in the fare: €21.49–59.99 (≈ UAH 1,110–3,090) when booked with the ticket. From Bologna Airport a bus reaches Rimini station in 1 hour 30 minutes for €29 (≈ UAH 1,495). The bus takes longer: to Rimini FlixBus runs only with changes, 36–47 hours, €95–193 (≈ UAH 4,900–9,970), or about 39 hours with the shuttle; the direct bus to Bologna on Thursdays and Sundays costs €127 (≈ UAH 6,540). All amounts are one way; travel and the venue are paid separately from the test, and we will give you the exact round-trip amount once the dates are known.

• Can my partner take a lie detector test for infidelity in San Marino?

  Yes. The test checks one specific suspicion, for example infidelity over a certain period. The partner under suspicion takes it, or both partners take separate tests. The test is voluntary and requires written consent. The VerifEye online test costs from UAH 2,500 (≈ €49), and you do not need to wait for a visit.

• In what language can I take the test in San Marino?

  You can take the test in Ukrainian, Russian, English or German. We do not run the test in Italian, the official language of San Marino. We draw up the questions together with you, and the person reads them in advance.

• Is a lie detector test legal in San Marino?

  San Marino has no separate law on lie detectors. A full-text search for 'poligrafo' in the official legislation archive of the Grand and General Council (Consiglio Grande e Generale) returns only three acts, and none is about lie detection: in Regency Decree no. 13 of 13 May 1921 the word means a duplicating machine, and in Delegated Decrees no. 128 of 23 August 2019 and no. 11 of 30 January 2020 it means cardiology equipment for health facilities. Searches for 'menzogna', 'bugia', 'psicofisiologico' and 'veridicità' return no results at all. We found no law that permits, prohibits or licenses private voluntary tests, so the question is not regulated. San Marino is not in the EU or the EEA, so the GDPR does not apply directly: personal data is governed by Law no. 171 of 21 December 2018, and the supervisory authority is the Autorità Garante per la protezione dei dati personali, San Marino's data protection authority. Article 3 of that law also covers those who offer services from abroad to people in San Marino, so an online test run from Ukraine falls under it. Article 8 prohibits processing biometric and health data but allows it with the person's explicit consent for a specific purpose; neither the law nor guidance from the Garante says whether ocular data counts as biometric. Under article 6 consent must be provable, and the person can withdraw it at any time, as easily as it was given. Article 22 gives the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, which is why a specialist always reviews and explains our conclusion. Article 46 allows data transfers without separate authorisation only to EU states and to countries covered by a European Commission adequacy decision; Ukraine has no such decision, so transfers need the safeguards of article 47 or another legal ground. San Marino also ratified Council of Europe Convention 108 (Council Decree no. 58 of 29 April 2015) and its amending Protocol (Decree no. 136 of 27 September 2023). We test only with written consent, and minors only with written consent from their parents and with the parents present. The rules for employees and job candidates are stricter: article 14 of Law no. 95 of 19 September 1989 on employment placement bars an employer from investigating, including through third parties, a person's political, religious or trade-union views and facts that are not relevant to assessing their professional capacity, and article 96 of Law no. 171/2018 expressly keeps that rule in force. In its video-surveillance decisions (no. 18 of 27 July 2020 and no. 1 of 12 April 2022) the Garante repeats that remote monitoring of workers' activity is prohibited. So talk to a lawyer before testing employees or candidates. We found no San Marino court decision on polygraphs: the Tribunale website has no case-law database, and the published lists of Garante decisions for 2019–2022 and 2024 contain no such cases. Our result is not court evidence.
