In Michigan, a private investigator generally needs a state professional investigator license through the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. Applicants typically must meet age, experience, character, insurance, and background requirements, with qualifying experience often coming from investigations, law enforcement, security, or related work. Requirements change, so applicants should verify current rules with Michigan LARA before offering investigative services.
