Working in guarding, investigation, locksmithing or other private security: obtain the appropriate agent permit

Priority

A job offer, training or pending application gives no right to practise. The permit must be valid for the category actually performed.

Confirm the scope

Choose regular, temporary or immediate-supervisor status and every category matching the actual duties rather than only the job title.

Prepare the information

Check age, work status, training or equivalency, first aid where required, background and respondent and gather proof.

Complete the process

Use the interactive or paper form, sign every appendix, attach readable copies and pay the non-refundable fees.

Keep follow-up records

Await the permit, verify the register and keep employers, contact details, annual fees, training and renewal current.
