  • What does it mean to renew on inactive status?

    Act 94, SLH 2004 established an inactive status which allows registrants, upon written request, to hold their registrations in abeyance if not currently being used in an effort to reduce a regulatory burden. This will result in lower renewal fees, the preservation of the previously met registration requirements (i.e. training) and reduce costs. An active registration may be placed on inactive status by filing an "Inactivation Application" and paying the appropriate fee. While on inactive status, a registrant shall not act in a guard capacity.

  • How do I reactivate my license if it has been placed on inactive status?

    The registration may be reactivated at any time by filing an "Application for Reactivation" and meeting all requirements established by the Board, including the payment of the appropriate fees, submittal of fingerprints to Fieldprint Inc. to obtain the FBI National and State Criminal History Record Check through the HCJDC, providing any information regarding any conviction of any crime that reflects unfavorably on the fitness of the registrant to engage in the profession, and information that the registrant, while on inactive status, has suffered a psychiatric or psychological disorder that is directly related and detrimental to the registrant's performance in the profession.

  • I recently applied and would like to wait until after June 30, 2021 for my guard registration to be issued.

    During the renewal period of May 10, 2021 to June 30, 2021, applicants who are eligible to have their guard registration issued will receive a fee option form. This form must be completed, signed and sent back to the Board.

  • Why is the license fee different if I choose to have my license issued on or after July 1, 2021?

    The license fees are prorated by year.

    1st year of the triennium is $151.00,

    2nd year of the triennium is $116.00,

    3rd year of the triennium is $81.00
