How Missouri Private Investigator license verification works

A Private Investigator in Missouri is licensed by the MO 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: status expires issued license_type method_of_license current_discipline_status previous_disciplinary_actions discipline_details address certifications.
