How To Know If A Private Investigator Is Legitimate

How do I know if the private investigator is legitimate?

In California you can go to the state website 'Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS)'. It's part of the department of consumer affairs website, which you can find by Google ‘California department consumer affairs' or whatever the state you are in, and the private investigator will have a license if they are licensed. On the California website, the licenses are sorted by the company name and not by the individual name so sometimes the person can have a license and it may be under his company name. Therefore you may not find it under his name but you'll be able to verify his licence. Fact: A licensed private investigator can hire hundreds of people for investigative work under their personal licenses.
