In general, the answer is no, but with some qualifications:
1) Anyone doing mystery shops in Nevada must be an employee of a licensed private investigator
2) Many mystery shopping companies (MSCs) require some type of certification, usually in the form of reading instructions ad then passing an online test. I would not consider this a license.
3) For some shops, The Source requires passing a background check. Again, not a license.

PREFACE: I am new to this topic and doing as much research as I can in the background.
I've been looking around the forum and doing internet searches to find this out. Does a person need a license to be a field inspector/agent if you're taking photos? From what I gather, reading some job assignments, it seems that an inspector/agent would take pictures, write and submit reports, but not be providing advice or anything about the property being inspected. More of verifying the damage or what have you?
Is this a reasonable reflection of certain assignments from such companies? And, would a person need to be licensed to do this?
Thanks in advance!
