How to get a SIA Badge – The Process The SIA badge – known as the SIA license – proves your registration with the Security Industry Association.

It’s the badge that all staff in frontline security must wear while they are working, and if you plan to work in the security industry, it’s something that you must look into. The SIA badge is £220, and it’s a cost that many have an issue with, but it’s part of the package of getting the badge for your new security role.

How To Get An SIA License The whole process to get your badge used to be a lot longer than it is today, with documents moving through the post. Now, there is a program with Royal Mail that has enabled a more streamlined process for application. The identity checks necessary can now be done at the post office, which makes the whole process far more straightforward. If you have to be subjected to criminal checks, your application may take a little longer than someone who is not subject to the same checks.
