To be in line with the spirit of business facilitation, the SGSIA has launched e-Licence since 1 July 2023.  The requirement for security company licensees to visit the Secretariat of SGSIA every year for updating the paper licence to record the payment of annual licence fee is waived,  and the licence form prescribed in Schedule 2 to the Security and Guarding Services (Licensing) Regulation (Cap. 460B) is suitably amended.

Upon implementation of e-licensing, those paper licences that were already issued will remain valid until the expiry date or until SGSIA issues e-Licences to the licence holders (whichever is earlier).  There will be no change to the current regulatory regime for the issue of licence, arrangements for payment of annual licence fee, law enforcement and monitoring of security companies.

Starting from 1 July 2023, all licences including new applications, renewal applications and replacement due to loss and damage, will be issued in an electronic format (i.e. Portable Document Format (PDF)) through email to eligible licence holder.  For the transitional arrangements of the issuance of security company licence, please click here.
