Choose Class A, B or C from the actual agency services

Rule 13 and the current class instructions distinguish Class A private investigation: $10,000, with $5,000 for the sole-proprietor category described in the Class A instructions as having no employees. Class B private security requires $10,000. The combined Class C investigative/security agency requires $15,000. The lower Class A category is not a general small-business exception for Class B or C.

The class instructions use the agency’s name on the financial instrument and require $1,000,000 commercial general liability insurance per occurrence separately. The State Police certificate-holder instructions are not a substitute for the bond’s State of Delaware recipient wording. The single public purchase entry has no amount or term label; it does not itself establish which class or sum its eventual application supports.

Use the current State form and its actual dates

The form currently linked by State Police names the State of Delaware and has a stated period with beginning and ending dates. Its aggregate surety liability does not increase merely because the instrument remains in force for more years. It permits cancellation as to future liability on thirty days’ written notice to the obligee sent by certified mail.

Rule 13 requires a minimum one-year bond for these classes, while agency licenses expire two years from the end of the approval month. Those are distinct instructions, not proof of a particular term offered by this unlabeled purchase entry. Match the actual accepted dates and arrange the licensing documents accordingly.

Prepare the agency package and license-holder evidence

Prepare the agency application, current class checklist, agency-named instrument, separate liability certificate, license-holder application and verified experience documents. State instructions say résumés or personal biographies do not replace the specified experience verification. Uniforms, patches, markings and advertising also have their own approval requirements.

The current instructions use IdentoGO for the license holder’s in-person fingerprint/photo appointment; the older instruction to supply two paper fingerprint cards is not the current process. Use the State Police’s actual class instructions, submission deadline and delivery directions for the package. New agency licenses and license-holder changes require Board approval; rule 13.6 allows standard unchanged renewals to be handled by Professional Licensing with Board notification.

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. Compare its actual principal, class, amount, State form, dates and execution requirements before completing it, then provide the appropriate issued document to Professional Licensing with the separate licensing evidence. Purchase does not approve the agency, register employees or authorize armed work.
