In addition to the South Carolina Private Investigator Bond, there are several other requirements that need to be met.  To be licensed as a private investigator, you must:

  • have 3 years of experience as a private investigator with a licensed private investigative agency, or;
  • have 3 years as an investigator employed by a law firm, government agency, private corporation, nonprofit organization, or in an alternate capacity which may be determined as requisite experience
  • submit two sets of fingerprints for a background investigation
  • have no civil judgments against you

To check the complete list of requirements, you need to contact SLED, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, for more information.

A surety bond protects the party requesting the bond, the Obligee, against any financial losses as a result of poor financial decisions, damages, unethical decisions, or a failure to follow state and local laws on the part of you, the Principal.  The South Carolina Private Investigator Bond holds you accountable for your business decisions.

By possessing a South Carolina Private Investigator Bond, you are telling your Obligee that you can be trusted as a Principal and that you stand behind your business decisions.
