Please note that there will be legislative changes to the Private Security Industry (Security Service Providers) Regulations 2009 with effect from 15 Sep 2025.
Besides the new licence tenure of 3 years at a fee of $126, other changes include the change in reporting requirements with respect to changes of business names and officers, i.e. directors and partners, of security service providers. 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.
