Private investigator licensing in Bangladesh
No. Bangladesh has no specific private investigator licence.
Bangladesh has no law that licenses private investigators or detective agencies, as far as could be found. The Private Security Services Act 2006 licenses firms that supply security guards to protect life and property from theft, robbery and other crime (s. 2(b)-(d)); licences come from the District Magistrate, or the Police Commissioner in metropolitan areas (s. 6), last two years and are renewable (s. 15). The Act does not mention investigation, so investigation work is not separately licensed, though privacy and criminal law still apply.2
