Fill and submit all licensing procedures and pay the required fees. Also, set up dates and times for sitting for your written examinations. Wait for your licenses to come before engaging in any employment ventures.  Think of working with an established firm or individual in order to obtain more experience and knowledge. This is also a good way to learn the ins and outs of the establishment and to brand yourself.  If you want to become a bounty hunter you should have a clean criminal record with no big crimes or class-A misdemeanors. Some, but not all, class B misdemeanors are exempt and so, will not stop you from qualifying to work as  a bounty hunter. Laws require that any individual who wants to work as a bounty hunter have proper licenses. Breaking the law will have stiff penalties, including time in prison.
