Higher fees for investigators and security providers

This law sets fees that North Dakota’s Private Investigative and Security Board can charge. A private investigator or security services license costs $225 to issue or renew; the exam costs $150. A security or detective agency pays $150 to apply and $450 for license issuance or renewal. A private security training certificate costs $40 to issue or renew. An armed certificate costs $45 annually. Registration to provide private investigative or security services costs $45 initially or at renewal. A duplicate license costs $30. Armed first responder course instructors pay a $600 initial application fee and $450 to renew their certification. For each month a renewal payment remains unpaid, the board can charge late fees: $75 for individual licenses; $150 for agency licenses; and $15 for training certificates, armed certificates, or service registrations. The law also requires the State Auditor to conduct a performance audit of the board during July 1, 2025–June 30, 2027. That audit is in addition to existing audit requirements. The law takes effect immediately as an emergency measure.
