Which of the following is NOT a qualification for a PI license?

  1. Must be at least 21 years old

  2. Must have a bachelor’s degree

  3. Must pass an exam

  4. Must be a resident alien or a U.S. citizen

The correct answer is: Must have a bachelor’s degree

The qualification stating that a private investigator must have a bachelor’s degree is not a requirement for obtaining a PI license in Kentucky. While having a degree may provide valuable knowledge and skills relevant to the field, it is not mandated by law as a prerequisite for licensure. The other qualifications, such as being at least 21 years old, passing an exam, and being a resident alien or U.S. citizen, are all established requirements that ensure applicants have a foundational level of maturity, competence in understanding the legal and ethical considerations of investigative work, and a lawful status to operate in the state. Thus, the absence of a degree requirement allows for a diverse range of candidates who may possess practical experience or related certifications that qualify them for the role of a private investigator.
