How We Verify Listings

Before an agency is added to InvestigatorFinder.com, we review the business information submitted for the listing and check licensing information through the appropriate state licensing authority, regulatory agency, or official state board where private investigators are licensed. Because private investigator licensing is handled at the state level rather than through one national system, the exact source we review may vary by jurisdiction.

​

We review listings when they are first submitted and periodically revisit them to confirm that the agency’s license appears current in the applicable state system. Licensing requirements and renewal cycles vary by state, and many firm licenses renew every one to two years, so listing reviews are part of our ongoing maintenance process rather than a one-time check.

​

InvestigatorFinder.com is a directory service, not the provider of investigative services. A listing on our website means the agency appeared to meet basic listing and licensing review standards at the time of review, but it does not mean we guarantee service quality, legal compliance in every assignment, availability, pricing, insurance coverage, or fitness for your specific matter.

​

Users are still responsible for doing their own due diligence before hiring any investigator. We strongly recommend that you confirm the investigator’s current license status directly with the relevant state agency, ask about the scope of work, request a written agreement, review fees and billing terms, and determine whether the investigator’s experience matches your case.
