$5,000Private Detective or Investigator Bond

Why do I need this bond?

The West Virginia Secretary of State requires private detectives and investigators to post $5,000 surety bonds.

Private detective or investigator bonds in West Virginia ensure that principals (detectives/investigators) comply with all provisions, rules, regulations and amendments provided by the Secretary of State. If the principal does not conduct business in a lawful manner, he or she will be held responsible for compensating the surety for any damages it covers.

What’s the fine print?

If the principal remains compliant with all regulations and performs all business lawfully and ethically, the bond will remain in full force and effect. The bond’s expiration date is stated on the bond form.

A notary public must acknowledge that the principal has met all requirements and sign the bond form.
