License Compliance & Why It Matters
808 Investigations operates in full compliance with Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 463 — Private Detectives and Guards, the governing law that regulates all private detective licensing in the State of Hawaii. Under HRS §463-5, no individual may engage in investigative services, advertise as a private detective, or hold themselves out as one without first obtaining a license from the Hawaii Board of Private Detectives and Guards.
Operating without that license is a criminal offense carrying fines and potential imprisonment under HRS §463-15. Hawaii Private Detective License #HI PD 28766. Verified and current.
Discreet investigative support starts with a confidential consultation.

About 808 Private Investigations in Hawaii
Hire us with confidence
- Not everyone calling themselves a private investigator in Honolulu, Hawaii is actually licensed to do the work. Under HRS §463-5, practicing as a private detective without a valid state license is illegal. Evidence gathered by an unlicensed investigator can be challenged or thrown out entirely in court, leaving your case compromised. Beyond the legal exposure, you have no recourse against someone operating outside the law.
- Before you hire anyone, ask to see their license number. Then verify it directly through the Hawaii DCCA Professional and Vocational Licensing division. An investigator who is reluctant to provide that information is one you should walk away from.
- 808 Investigations holds an active, board-issued Hawaii private detective license. We carry the required surety bond under HRS §463-12, and our principal detective meets all qualifications set forth under HRS §463-6, including the four-year minimum full-time investigative experience requirement, criminal history clearance, and a documented record of honesty and professional integrity.
