Does Ohio require a bounty hunter to be licensed; and if so, what is the process?

*******************************************************************************

Yes, In Ohio you must be either a licensed private investigator or bail agent-

each has its own set of requirements. More information regarding licensing

can be found at:

 

For Bail Recovery Agents- the Ohio Department of Insurance

For Private Investigator licensing- Department of Commerce, Real Estate and

Professional Licensing Division

Hope this helps you in your search!
