The High Court has granted an application by the Information Commissioner's Office for a warrant to search Cambridge Analytica's London office.
The ICO says it is "pleased with the decision of the judge" and will execute the warrant "shortly".
"This is just one part of a larger investigation into the use of personal data for political purposes and we will now need time to collect and consider the evidence," it said.
Information Commissioner Elizabeth Denham wants to access London-based Cambridge Analytica's records and data.
The company, which uses data to change the behaviour of internet users, was hired by Donald Trump's campaign team during the 2016 presidential election.

The firm is accused of illegally harvesting the personal data of 50 million Facebook users.
It is alleged this information was given to Mr Trump's campaign strategists to provide an insight into the thoughts of American voters, ultimately influencing the 2016 presidential election.
The data watchdog's investigation includes the acquisition and use of Facebook data by Cambridge Analytica, its parent company SCL and academic Dr Aleksandr Kogan.
Dr Kogan is the University of Cambridge professor who developed the app 'This Is Your Digital Life' through his company Global Science Research (GSR) in collaboration with Cambridge Analytica.
The app offered payment in return for users filling out a personality test and Facebook says it was downloaded by 270,000 people.
The app also allegedly gave Mr Kogan access to the lists of the downloaders' Facebook friends.
Cambridge Analytica's chief executive Alexander Nix has been suspended while Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has been called on to give evidence to MPs.
The judge told the court he will give his reasons for granting the application on Tuesday.
Both Cambridge Analytica and Facebook deny any wrongdoing.

Cookies-and-Cream Pavlova The story goes that Pavlova, a dessert which both Australia and New Zealand lay claim to, is named after the prima ballerina Anna Pavlova, who performed in both countries in the 1920s. Ms. Pavlova’s tutu, billowing round with layers of lace, is the inspiration for the creamy meringue dessert. This simple version combines a crackled, speckled meringue disk — crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside — and a swoopy crown of salted whipped cream. Fans of the marshmallows in Lucky Charms cereal will delight in this four-ingredient Pavlova, whose flavor is reminiscent of those hearts, stars and horseshoes. Here, the “cookies” in cookies-and-cream are, as ever, Oreos, which lend that dreamy teeter-totter of milky white and bittersweet black. INGREDIENTS FOR THE MERINGUE: 4 large egg whites Pinch of salt ¾ cup/151 grams granulated sugar 10 chocolate sandwich cookies (113 grams), such as Oreos. FOR THE TOPPING: 2 cups/480 milliliters heavy whipping ...
