Important Message:

Please note that there will be legislative changes to the Private Security Industry (Private Investigation and Security Agencies) Regulations 2009 with effect from 15 Sep 2025.

The changes include the change in reporting requirements with respect to changes of business names and officers, i.e. directors and partners, of security agencies. For change of directors/partners and change of business name, licensees should update ACRA directly within 14 days of the change, and there is no longer a requirement to inform PRD if this had already been done. You may refer to the SPF's website for more details. Alternatively, you may refer to the amended legislation which is available online.
