Thread: Washington, DC licensing help needed !!

    Washington, DC licensing help needed !!

    Good evening everyone.....,

    Have been in the application process for P.I. licensing in Washington, D.C., since January, 2002. Am losing patience, sleep and hair. Has been unbelieveably difficult.

    Have met all criteria, been "ultra nice", jumped through all the hoops. Seems, the rules keep changing. One would think there is a policy of "deflection", on initial applications for P.I. licenses.

    Would someone who has successfully navigated these shifting rules, have any words of advice. Of particular concern is the "Attorney-in-Fact" interpretation.

    Really need help on this one. Thanks!!!

    Respectfully,
    Gregory Duncombe

    Hi Joe -

    Have you read this thread > PI Licensing: Washington DC?

    I hope this helps, but if you've already read it, and it's STILL unclear,
    perhaps someone will come along and point you in another direction.
