Can an LPI legally use the state seal on their business card if they have a state license?

Yes, it is allowed
No, it is illegal
Only with permission from the state
Only for official documents

The correct answer is: No, it is illegal

In Alabama, licensed private investigators (LPIs) are prohibited from using the state seal on their business cards or any materials. The use of the state seal is reserved for official government documents and represents the state itself. Allowing private investigators to use the seal could mislead the public into thinking they have some form of government endorsement or authority that they do not possess. Thus, using the state seal without authorization is illegal. This restriction is put in place to maintain the integrity of the state’s symbols and prevent confusion regarding the professional authority of private investigators.
