Obtaining an SIA Licence : Key Holding

There is no training requirement for key holding. But if you are a key holder who also carries out response activities you will need a security licence.

The key holding licence is a letter which must be produced, if asked, for inspection by authorised personnel.

When you apply you will need to send:

1. A photograph of yourself which has been counter-signed by a suitable person
2. Documents confirming your identity and age: All documents should be in your current name (unless accompanied by a deed poll document that confirms a change of name or valid adoption certificate), at least one document must show your current address and at least one must show your date of birth.
3. The relevant certificate number of your training certificate.

The SIA will undertake a criminal record check using the info you have provided.
