Q. WHEN DO I HAVE TO RENEW?

Q. WHAT HAPPENS IF I AM EXPIRED?

If you failed to register and complete the recertification process before your expiration date you must complete the original process over again.

Click on “Renewal Applicant” > “My Applications” > “Security Officer” > “Submit Renewal”
YOU MUST HAVE YOUR CREDIT CARD ON HAND BEFORE YOU START THIS PROCESS. (For your protection, the website will log you out if you take too long on any page)

The cost is $80.87 to renew with the NJSP, PLUS the $60.00 cost of the one day mandatory recertification class.

Q. DO I HAVE TO GO THROUGH TRAINING AGAIN?
