Private Investigator Badges
Design Yours Online
Create custom private investigator badges for your agency or solo practice. The Owl Badges TrueBadge Designer™ lets you add your state license number, agency name, rank, and credentials. Whether you need badges for a licensed private investigator, detective agency, or in-house corporate investigations team, every badge is fully customizable to your specifications. Because investigators work in plainclothes, these badges are built for credential-case carry — flat profile, no uniform pin.

Whether you are ordering your first credential badge as a newly licensed PI, replacing a worn one, outfitting a detective agency, or building a badge for a corporate investigations team, every order moves through the same precision four-step process. Agencies ordering in volume get bulk pricing, agency-wide rollouts, and PO terms.

Order your personal badge
Individual private investigator badges start at $150 per badge, with volume pricing from $45 in bulk. Once your design is approved, add to cart and checkout with credit card or ACH. Credential verification is required for all individual badge orders — email your state PI license, agency registration, or professional credential before production begins. This protects the integrity of investigator identification and ensures every badge we produce goes to verified professionals. Once verified, your badge moves into manufacturing.

- Fully custom shapes outside the standard catalog
- Complex multi-layer seals with raised 3D elements
