Private Investigator Bond

A private investigator surety bond is a type of financial guarantee that is required by many states for private investigators as part of their licensing process. The bond serves as a protection for the public and the state against any potential misconduct, fraud, or unethical practices committed by the private investigator while performing their duties.

Here’s how it works:

1. Parties Involved:
   • Principal: The private investigator or private investigation agency that purchases the bond.
   • Obligee: The state licensing authority or government agency that requires the bond.
   • Surety: The bond company that issues the bond and guarantees the investigator’s compliance with laws and regulations.
