A frequent question we encounter from aspiring roadside assistance service providers is, "Do I have to have a license to be a locksmith to perform lockout services?" While specific licensing requirements vary by state and local jurisdiction in the US, for basic vehicle lockout services (using non-damaging tools and methods), a full locksmith license is typically not required. However, Run Roadside prioritizes responsible and professional service. We provide thorough guidance and resources to ensure our roadside assistance service providers operate within legal guidelines and possess the necessary skills for safe and effective lockouts. Our training covers these important distinctions and helps you understand the full scope of services you can legally and safely offer.
