Once you've completed your security training, here's what to do next: 1. Get fingerprinted with IdentoGO using code 1545R1 ($102). 2. Fill out the Security Guard Application (1206-f-a.pdf) on ny.gov ($36). 3. Make sure you have a NYS driver's license or non-driver ID ready.

Check out job sites like Monster and Indeed for security guard positions. Use keywords like 'full-time security guard' or 'part-time security guard' to find openings.

You'll get a renewal notice 90 days before your registration expires. Be sure to renew before the expiration date to keep working as a security guard. If you miss the deadline by over 6 months, you'll need to reapply and requalify.

You'll receive a renewal application by mail. If it doesn't arrive, email the Division of Licensing Services with your name, address, license type, unique ID number, and expiration date to request a form.
