After completing your security training, follow these steps to apply for your security license: 1. Get fingerprinted with IdentoGO using code 1545R1 (cost: $102). 2. Complete the Security Guard Application (1206-f-a.pdf) on ny.gov (cost: $36). 3. Ensure you have a NYS driver's license or non-driver ID to apply.

Look for security job opportunities on employment sites like Monster and Indeed. Search for terms like 'security guard positions,' 'full-time security guard,' or 'part-time security guard.'

You will receive a renewal notice 90 days before your registration expires. Make sure to renew by the expiration date to continue working as a security guard. If you miss the deadline and it's been over 6 months, you'll need to re-apply and re-qualify.

You'll get a renewal application in the mail. If you don't receive it, email the Division of Licensing Services with your full name, mailing address, license type, unique ID number, and license expiration date to request a form.
