About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the PI bond actually covers

Colorado ended its Office of Private Investigator Licensure effective August 31, 2021 — there is no longer a statewide PI license, and the licenses issued under it are no longer valid. So unlike most license bonds, a Colorado PI bond is generally not a state mandate today.

When a Colorado investigator is asked for a bond now, it is usually a contractual or client requirement — a corporate client, an agency contract, or a local jurisdiction that conditions work on a surety bond. The bond protects whoever required it against losses from the investigator violating the terms of that engagement.

Because there is no statutory figure anymore, the amount is whatever your contract or jurisdiction names. Enter that figure and we issue the bond with pricing from $100 and no credit information collected in the application — same honest pricing as every bond we write.

Colorado PI licensure ended in 2021Colorado's voluntary private investigator licensure program (formerly under C.R.S. Title 12, Article 160, which required a surety bond in an amount set by the director by rule) ended August 31, 2021. There is no current statewide PI license or bond mandate — confirm the amount with whoever is requiring the bond, and we'll issue it.

FAQ

Common questions.

Does Colorado require a private investigator bond?Not as a statewide license requirement — Colorado ended its PI licensure program on August 31, 2021. A bond today is generally a contractual, client, or local requirement rather than a state mandate.
How much is it?The premium is 1% of your bond amount, with a $100 minimum — the price is set by the amount, not by credit or underwriting tier. Because there is no statutory amount anymore, you enter whatever figure your contract, client, or jurisdiction asked for and your exact price appears at the application.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly. If a check ever runs, it is a soft pull only — never a hard inquiry — and it never affects your credit score.
What does the bond protect against?It protects whoever required it against losses if you violate the terms of the engagement that the bond backs. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety — it is not insurance for you.
What amount should I choose if I'm not sure?Ask whoever is requiring the bond for the exact figure — there's no statewide default since the state program ended. If you're carrying it voluntarily, common amounts run $5,000 to $25,000. Send us the request and we'll confirm.
