What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
An Arizona private investigator agency bond is a public-protection guarantee. You investigate on behalf of clients, and the state wants a financial backstop that the agency conducts its business honestly and faithfully under Arizona's private investigator law.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the people of the State of Arizona through the Department of Public Safety (the obligee). The bond protects clients and the public against wrongful acts by the principal, a partner, a private investigator, agent, or employee of the agency.
The DPS agency license runs two years, and the bond must stay active for the life of the license. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days before expiration, keeping your $2,500 filing continuous so your agency license never lapses.
