Three steps to licensed.
Your detective license is waiting on proof of financial responsibility. Here's the process — no broker phone tag:
Apply once, online
Business details, owner information, effective date. That is the application — the only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Approved
Most are approved as soon as you apply. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score. If it needs a second look, one to two business days at most.
E-sign & file with the Attorney General
Pay online and receive the executed bond ready to file with your detective or agency license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the office insists.
What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Kansas licenses private detectives and detective agencies through the Office of the Attorney General under K.S.A. 75-7b01 et seq. The statute conditions licensure on proof of financial responsibility — a surety bond together with commercial liability insurance — so there is a financial backstop standing behind your investigative work.
The bond is a three-party guarantee: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Kansas (the obligee), with harmed members of the public as the protected parties. If a detective's conduct violates the licensing act and harms someone, the harmed person can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Kansas's statutory figures have shifted over time, and the bond and the required liability-insurance limits are not the same number. This product is the $100,000 detective-agency bond. Before you buy, confirm with the Attorney General's licensing unit that $100,000 is the amount your specific license requires — send us your application and we'll match it.
