Remaining compliant with BSIS regulations isn’t just a legal obligation—it’s your career lifeline. With 2025 bringing in a wave of updates, now is the perfect time to ensure your documentation, training, and certifications are fully in order.
Key Documents You Need in 2025
Every licensed security guard must keep the following up-to-date:
- Valid Guard Card (with current address)
- Training Completion Certificates (Initial and CE)
- Live Scan Submission Confirmation
- CPR/First Aid Certification (if required by your employer)
- Workplace Incident Log (maintained if part of your employer’s SOP)
Top 5 Mistakes That Could Cost You Your License
- Letting your Guard Card expire without renewal

Each of these can result in fines, license suspension, or even permanent revocation.
