Hey, anyone wanting any info on becoming a Bountyhunter ( Or Recovery Agent ) as it is more normally reffered to, please feel free to reply to me.
The number to the Department of Insurance is (317) 232-5249 ( ask for Mickey there ). The mailing address is:
Department of Insurance
Bail Bond Division
311 West Washington Suite 300
Indianapolis, IN. 46204.
The Package that they send out to you is pretty much self explanatory, and depending on when you apply, you could only have to pay half of the entire fee.
The Study material is the same for a Bail Agent ( Bail Bondsman ) as it is for a Recovery Agent ( Bountyhunter )...
There is a need for Good Bountyhunters in Indy where there are over 80,000 open warrants in the state. The good thing about being a bountyhunter is that you can freelance for several Bail Agencies.
There is also a Program here in Indiana called Crimestoppers that offers awards for information or apprehension of wanted fugitives...

Bounty Hunting in Indiana is governed by the Department of Insurance and specific requirements must be met in order to obtain a Bounty Hunter’s License. Once a license is secured, Bail Enforcement can be very rewarding as Fugitive Recovery Agent’s have the authority to arrest fugitives throughout the state.
How to Become a Bounty Hunter in Indiana
To become a Bounty Hunter in Indiana one must meet a number of licensing requirements as listed below. Become-a-bounty-hunter recommends training and education in order to meet the requirement that licensees “have knowledge” in the bail bond business and pass the formal examination. While the $750 of fees are slightly more than other states, holding an individual Bail Agent’s License allows Fugitive Recovery Agents to pursue and apprehend fugitives themselves, which can be very rewarding for the individual.
Indiana Bounty Hunter Licenses and Requirements
Bounty Hunters must be licensed in Indiana. Licenses in the state are known as a “Bail Agent’s License” and they may only be issued to individuals. In order to obtain a license you must be 18 years old, not been convicted of a felony in the past 10 years or a misdemeanor in 5, be a resident of the state, have knowledge or receive instruction in the bail bond business or have held a “line of fire” license for one of the last five years, and take and pass a written examination. Furthermore, you must pay a $650 licensing fee, a $100 examination fee, and submit fingerprints and a photo to the Department of Insurance.
Re: INDIANA LAW: Recovery Agents
Thank you for the information, Larry,Anthony, and Tony. Extremely informative and insightful. I plan to start a firm in South Bend which, for those of us that live in Indiana understand exactly how dangerous and volatile the recover(e)es may or may not be. The South Bend Police Department seems to need all the help they can get, and I have several veteran friends coming back from various Middle Eastern countries in need of work. They and their families thank you for these links and so do I.
