Nsw police licensing

If a fine is unsuccessfully challenged in court, the court may impose greater financial penalties than those listed below. Please note: SLED may impose additional conditions on licensees as required.

There are certain circumstances in which SLED is required to suspend or revoke a security licence. When you apply for a security licence, or renew your existing licence, you can choose to have a one year or a five year licence.

There are also fees associated with other aspects of security licensing, including add or deleting subclasses, replacing your licence or changing your name on your licence card. If you choose to withdraw your application this fee cannot be refunded. If your application is refused, a refund of your application payment, minus the processing fee, will be provided once the appeal period is completed.

Refunds can take up to six weeks to process from the date of refusal. Once the expiry date passes, you have up to 90 days to submit your renewal application. Late payment fees apply and must be paid when you submit your application. You are unlicensed until your licence has been renewed. You cannot renew your licence once the 90 days have passed. If you want to continue to work in the security industry, you will need to submit a new application, including evidence that you meet the current security licence course training requirements.

You must present your photograph advice letter in person and have your photograph taken at any Service NSW Centre within 60 days when your licence is first issued and whenever you renew, replace or amend your licence.
