Best Private Investigators in Myrtle Beach, SC

Do you need a license to be a Private Investigator? Yes... In most states, that is. In this article we briefly go over private investigator licensing and the states that require it and the ones that don't (at the time of this writing). North Carolina does require you to be licensed to provide investigative services, however, that may not be the case if working directly for an attorney, as their "in-house" investigator. There are also other services and specialties that a private investigator, in NC, can provide, but with additional licensing; such as, Armed PI services, Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM), Digital Forensics, polygraph services, and more. All of the information can be found at the Department of Public Safety > Private Protective Services Board (PPSB). In regards to the states that do not require licensing, it would be a good idea to network with other people that have already been operating as an investigator in the state you wish to work. Also, reaching out to the state's investigative association (if one exists) or to a national association, would help a lot.
