How to become a private investigator in North Carolina?

To work as a private investigator in North Carolina you must possess a license issued by North Carolina Department of Justice (Private Protective Services). The basic requirement to attain a license is that you must be at least 18 years of age and must be legally entitled to work in United States of America. You will have to undergo a thorough background check which scrutinizes your past criminal and moral history.

You must have at least three years of practical experience within last ten years in investigative service or as a member of law enforcement or government agency. If you are at the starting point, apply for your training under the direct supervision of a licensed private investigator for three years. This training comprises of three levels; each measured by 1000 hours of experience and work checked by a superior and senior. You can compensate for 200 hours by being educated yourself at board approved schools. In simple terms, you must have a high school degree which is approved by board.

The next step is then to request for a license through an application to North Carolina Private Protective Services Board. Fill the application form completely, duly signed and notarized. The application forms are available for download here. North Carolina has reciprocity with states as California, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Likewise, detectives licensed in North Carolina may do work in these locations.

This went on for months, I didn't know what to do. i was so paranoid and decided to find a solution, i saw a recommendation about a private investigator and decided to contact him. I explained the situation about my wife to him and he said he was going to help me.I gave him all the informations he required and afterwards i received all my wife’s phones Text messages and calls, I was hurt when i saw a picture of my wife and her lover.
