How Florida Private Investigator license verification works

A Private Investigator in Florida is licensed by the FL Private Security / Guard Licensing. PrimaryCheck looks the license up live at the board's public verification system (board lookup) by license number, or by name when no number is supplied. The record the board publishes is captured as evidence, hashed, and rendered into a proof PDF.

Fields returned for this board: license_number name license_class status expires companion_license.

Board note: FDACS Division of Licensing individual search (ASP.NET WebForms, plain HTTPS, captured 2026-11-04). Number search returns the detail directly (name, licence number, expires, status, companion licence); name search is an alphabetical 15-row window from the typed 'Last, First' per class (C private investigator, D security officer). Host negotiates only TLS1.2/AES128-SHA → connector client uses an SSL context at SECLEVEL=1. Statuses seen: LICENSE ISSUED, RENEWAL NOTICE SENT, APPLICATION DENIED.
