About Guard Card Renewal
Guard Card Renewal is the process by which a security guard renews their registration with their state regulatory agency. The goal of this process is to ensure that private security professionals remain competent and up-to-date with the latest skills and knowledge needed to perform their job duties safely and effectively. Individuals who work as security guards, both armed and unarmed, are typically required to hold a Guard Card. The Guard Card is essentially a license that allows individuals to work in the security industry and is governed by the state in which they work. Most states require security guards to renew their Guard Card every one to three years, depending on the state's requirements. In addition to renewing their Guard Card, many state regulatory agencies require security guards to complete continuing education and training to maintain their certification. These courses may include training in defensive tactics, firearm safety, and conflict resolution. Failure to renew one's Guard Card or complete the required continuing education can result in license suspension or revocation, which may disqualify an individual from working in the security industry.
