Private investigators are persons who does investigatory law works and hired by groups or individuals. Those with specialized academic and practical experience also help lawyers for finding evidences and investigate some things for civil and criminal cases. Investors also asked them to do due diligence before they commit on a risky investment they are considering.

If you like to become one then some things should be done with the various states of the countries having different ones among them. Class C license is required for Florida licensed PI and this indicates being full private investigator and the Class M or MA are for managerial positions in these agencies. Here are some qualifications and requirements needed to be done.

Basic qualifications should be met such as being a legal citizen or resident of US with an age of at least eighteen. A history of doing disqualifying crime, alcoholism, illegal drug use and mental illness must not be present. Relevant experience of two years is required also which can be acquired easier in being an intern at an agency.

Because of the requirement of having an experience first for two years, applicants usually choose to apply for the internship. This requires them to have a Class CC license though forty hours of professional training should be completed first. Schools give out diploma to those who complete their training programs and some even acquire college degrees to further their career chances.

Halving the two years required experience into one could be done by substituting it with college coursework about law enforcement, criminal justice or criminology. Firearms training lasting 28 hours is required for those that concealed weapons are warranted. After doing all this then start your internship under a license PI from the cities of Florida which could fulfill the requirements.

A state examination must be taken after which would test your knowledge about business practice of a PI and their legal responsibilities. Call the eight licensing offices across the state and have an appointment set up for your examination. The results would then be known after two weeks or four after taking the exam that usually last for two hours.

Apply for the Class C licensure after passing the examination by completing an application form with your recent photo attached to it. Include documents that confirm your completion of all the requirements necessary such as your internship, exam score and training. Set of fingerprints should be included as well as the payment for the fees.

If you think carrying a concealed weapon is needed in doing your job well then apply for a Class G license which is statewide. This includes certificate that shows mandatory firearms instruction, health certificate, your photograph and fingerprint information. Though if this is done together with your PI licensing application then one set of fingerprints is only needed.

If you are finished with your application then you have officially become a licensed professional PI and can start working immediately. Make sure your license is renewed after every two years which is possible online. Join some professional organizations in having more opportunities to network with others.
