How Oregon Private Investigator license verification works

A Private Investigator in Oregon is licensed by the OR 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: license_number license_type status issued expires certificates agency employment_status employments flags.

Board note: DPSST I.R.I.S. public inquiry (Blue Peak Logic host linked from oregon.gov/dpsst): PrivateSecurity/EmployeeSearch.aspx for security providers and PrivateInvestigator/EmployeeSearch.aspx for PIs; ASP.NET WebForms, plain HTTPS, no captcha; search by 'Last, First' (prefix) or 6-digit DPSST id; details page lists every certificate (Issued/Valid = current, Expired/Invalid/In Process/Withdrawn/Admin Term otherwise) with dates and probation date. Employment Status on the rows is not the licence. Live 2026-11-04.
