Private Security FAQs
Can I send in the documentation for waivers and/or compliance agent applications to have it approved BEFORE I send in the fee?
I paid for one of my applications but not the other. Why haven't I been issued the one that has been paid?
No licenses, certifications or registrations will be issued until all outstanding fees or monetary penalties owed to DCJS are paid in full.
What happens if my check was returned for insufficient funds?
DCJS may suspend the registration, license, certification, or authority it has granted any person, licensee or registrant.
What is the reinstatement fee?
For any Private Security or SCOP programs, a reinstatement fee must be submitted for renewal applications receivedwithin 60 days after a license, registration or certification has expired. The reinstatement fee is 50% above and beyond the renewal fee and must be submitted with all appropriate paperwork before your renewal will be issued. Bail Bondsmen and Bail Enforcement Agents do not have provisions for reinstatement.
