Private investigator licensing in Venezuela
No. Venezuela has no specific private investigator licence.
Venezuela no longer licenses private investigators. The 1975 regulation that covered private 'vigilancia, protección e investigación' was repealed in 2018 by Decreto 3.278, which licenses only guarding, cash-in-transit, transport and custody of people and goods, protection of people and property, and civilian escorts (Art. 3). Investigation is not among the authorised services, so it falls under general privacy and criminal law.1
