Polygraph Testing for North Charleston Residents
A lie detector test for North Charleston, South Carolina residents costs $1,500 for a single person examination at our Charleston location, just 5.9 miles away. Couples testing is $2,800 and group rates start from $1,300 per person. All prices include the booking fee, examination, pre-test assessment, and a detailed written report with no hidden costs.
North Charleston is South Carolina's third-largest city — more than 108,000 people, a Boeing aircraft plant, the region's main airport, and much of the Lowcountry's industrial muscle. It is not, however, where we test. Examinations for North Charleston clients are held at our Charleston office on the peninsula, 5.9 miles away and roughly 10 minutes by car.
With the two cities woven together as tightly as they are in Charleston County, the arrangement is hardly a burden. What matters is what waits at the end of the short drive: a permanently configured private testing suite where temperature, noise and interruptions are controlled — the conditions on which every credible polygraph result rests. We would rather have you travel ten minutes than compromise those conditions with a pop-up room.
The examination is conducted by a professional examiner trained at APA-accredited schools and follows the full protocol: pre-test interview, charted examination, post-test review. You receive a written report the same day. An individual examination is $1,500, couples testing is $2,800, and group appointments are $1,300 per examinee.

Preparing for Your Visit
Travelling to your polygraph appointment? These tips will help you arrive prepared and get the most accurate results.
Plan Your Journey
Your appointment at our Charleston office is approximately ~10 min from North Charleston. We recommend arriving 10–15 minutes early — rushing to your appointment can elevate your heart rate and affect your physiological baseline, which could impact accuracy. Plan for traffic and allow a small buffer.
The Night Before
Get a full night’s rest. Fatigue affects physiological responses and can interfere with the accuracy of your polygraph results. Avoid alcohol the evening before, and try to maintain your normal routine as much as possible.
What to Bring
Bring any relevant documents — case notes, a list of questions you want covered, or reference materials. If someone is accompanying you, they’re welcome to wait in reception while the examination takes place in a separate private room.
On the Day
- Avoid caffeine and stimulants — coffee, energy drinks, and nicotine elevate heart rate and can affect sensor readings
- Eat a light meal — don’t arrive on an empty stomach as sessions typically last 90 minutes to 2 hours
- Wear comfortable clothing — sensors are placed around the upper body, so avoid tight or restrictive layers
- Bring valid photo ID — your examiner will verify your identity before the examination begins

Why Our Results Are Trusted
The science behind our polygraph examinations at Charleston.
Accuracy Rate
When administered by a qualified, APA-qualified examiner using validated protocols, polygraph testing achieves 90–95% accuracy in specific-issue testing, supported by decades of peer-reviewed research.
Question Repetition
Every relevant question is repeated a minimum of three times during your examination. This multi-pass approach eliminates anomalies and ensures the physiological data is consistent and reliable.
Channels Monitored
Our digital instruments simultaneously monitor heart rate, blood pressure, respiration (thoracic and abdominal), and electrodermal activity — providing a comprehensive physiological profile throughout the examination.

The polygraph is the only scientifically validated technology for truth verification. We reject unvalidated alternatives including voice stress analysers, mobile apps, and eye-tracking tools.
