    Hi Tracy
    I am very glad to here that you received your card. I am still new at this PI stuff and was wondering if you could tell me what you had to do to get your card. I have not received anything in the mail yet and don't really know what all the steps are yet.

    Hello Lia, You have to send in your photo ID's and fingerprints in and they send it all back to you . You have to start actually by sending in your first paper work to get the photo id and fingerprints.

    Lia, I was in the same situation as you for some time, just waiting and wondering when anything was going to show up in the mail, but it finally does come, I promise you. The first thing you get is your CW&R paperwork, just fill it out, and send it back in. I am at that point right now, and am awaiting further paperwork. this is so exciting. good luck.

    I sent in a new photo to renew my ID. This was sent to you last week. When will I receive my business cards?

    I am excited and look forward to getting them.

    You have to register at the IPIU store on the main website. When you register, it costs $79 for normail mailing and about $95 for express mail. This is the cost of your background checks. The IPIU will notify/call you, then send you paperwork and instructions. Once you fill out all of your paperwork, just send it back and wait for your ID card.

    The will send you a paper made for your prints and you then have to have them taken by a law enforcement officer (police, sherriff, border patrol, etc...). I got mine taken with the sherriff for $6 fee.

    I'm glad everyone received they're id I lost mines and I have to replace it. Anyhow I'm applying for agencies because I passed my exam it's pretty easy. Except the last part is kind of tricky. Good luck to all keep on reading the forums. i didn't do that in the beginning of my membership now I'm starting to.

    I received my training manual and test! You will also receive a certificate that is professionally printed with your name and IPIU logo (you must frame and display with other accolades). After perusing the site and posting threads, I will finish my test and mail today or tomorrow morning. It is a three-part test and there is no reason for not obtaining a perfect score. The manual is eay to read and is provided in a professional binder that you can take with you anywhere to study/review.

    The manual also includes valuable resources that can be obtained at IPIU Bookstore. I was just excited when I received my ID card (which arrived on my B-Day). This is an exciting opportunity for us. Keep up the motivation.

    Fingerprints

    Greetings Juan:

    If you have not already received the official fingerprinting card from IPIU, you can then obtain from your local police/sheriff office. Remember, the fingerprints must be completed by, or at a police/sheriff office. Also provide your receipt if given for fingerprint services with your application documents. The receipt will include the police name, address, etc.

    Local agencies like photo processing, passports are not authorized for completing fingerprints. The costs range from about $15 or more, depending on your area/location. Good luck Juan!

    Thanks for the encouragement and keeping abreast of the website and threads. I will make an effort to visit at least bi-weekly.

    I just finished taking my test that I will put in the mail box tomorrow and wait for the results. I have to agree that the last part is a bit tricky, but overall if you read the manual you should be fine. I cannot wait to get my results. To all of you out there, good luck.

    Smile Received Photo ID

    Hello to all!
    I also received my photo ID a few days ago and now waiting patiently on the training manuels and the test to arrive.

    Since the Christmas holidays is approaching it may be a delay in the timely manner in which I have been receiving information to start the next step. However, I am excited to get started with the test and start working.

    Well we are closer to Level 4. Hope everyone have a happy holiday and prosperous New Year.

    Hmmmm, does the photo ID come first...then the training manual and test?? Or vice versa? I have heard different things about "when" you get what. Or is there even a "set" order in which IPIU sends these?? Thanks all!!

    Hi Charlotte,

    The Photo ID comes first. The training manuals and taking the test is the last step in the process.

    I hope that helped!

    Charlotte,

    I received my training manual and test several days ago. I just started a new job to cover expenses until my PI career gets going, so I have to wait until I get my schedule so I can fill out my PI schedule and send it in with my test. I just received my photo ID yesterday, so they can come in either order.

    Good luck in your new career!

    ID cards

    How do you get your picture taken for your ID? Do you have to go somewhere to have someone official take it?

    Yes, you can go to Walgreens to get a set of passport pictures taken for a small fee, or you can get 2 small, color photos a different way. (digital camera, etc.) From what I understand, you can send the pictures to IPIU, and they can size them to fit on your ID. (assuming the pictures are already small) Hope I have helped some!

    If you have your photos taken in "passport" size, that will work - they are then trimmed down (at least mine were) to fit your ID card
