How to Guide: Apply for In-House Security Company Licensing

• Processing Time – Applications are processed in the order in which they are received.
  • If you receive a deficiency letter, please submit all requested items at one time, as soon as possible, to prevent processing delays.
  • Please Note – Incomplete applications may be withdrawn if noted deficiencies are not satisfied within 60 days of said notification. If your application is withdrawn, you will be required to restart the application process to be considered for licensure, to include submission of all required documents and fees.
  • Completed applications will be initially reviewed by Board staff and may be reviewed by the Board at an upcoming Board Meeting. Applications must be complete and received at least 15 days prior to a Board Meeting to be added to that meeting’s agenda. Otherwise, the application will be reviewed at the next Board meeting.
