SC Private Detective Bond Requirements
Private detectives in South Carolina are required to obtain a surety bond as part of the licensing process. The bond amount is typically $10,000 and must be filed with the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED).
This bond protects clients from potential financial losses due to misconduct or violations by the private detective. It ensures the detective will follow all applicable laws and regulations in performing their duties.
How to Obtain a SC Private Detective Bond
To obtain a SC private detective bond, applicants must work with a licensed surety bond company. The company will underwrite the bond based on the applicant's personal credit and financial history.
Once approved, the surety company will issue the bond certificate. The private detective must then file this certificate with SLED as part of their license application or renewal process.
