In spring 2016 the security sector regulator the Security Industry Authority is introducing new online services that the SIA says will improve the information available, speed up the application process and enhance the service that we provide.
The regulator ran a series of short briefings around the UK in September and October 2015 to explain the changes:
The new self-service website and how the online accounts will work for individuals and businesses.
The new services for approved contractors, Licence Assist and Licence Management, and how to complete, pay for and check the status of applications on behalf of your staff.
The new ‘Pay Only’ tool and how to pay the licence fee on behalf of a licence applicant once they have submitted their application online.
