获取保安证的步骤
完成 8 小时逮捕权课程

通过考试（按 16 CCR §628 需 100%）
培训机构在 8 小时课程结束时进行考试。您必须达到 100% 才能获得结业证书。允许重考——复习薄弱环节并重新参加考试，直到通过。
提交 BSIS 保安证申请 + $60 费用
通过 bsis.ca.gov 的 BSIS 在线门户申请。支付 $60 申请费（自 2025 年 10 月 1 日起生效）。可在完成 Live Scan 之前提交，但处理需在背景调查通过后完成。
完成 Live Scan 指纹采集
前往 Live Scan 站点。费用：$32 DOJ + $17 FBI + 站点费（$20–$75）。总额 $49–$124。结果直接发送至 BSIS 进行背景调查。
等待 BSIS 处理（4–6 周）
BSIS 处理申请和背景调查。大多数申请需 4–6 周；如 DOJ 或 FBI 标记需要审查，可能更长。

Frequently Asked Questions
Who needs a California Guard Card?+
Anyone working as an unarmed security guard in California must hold a current Security Guard Registration from BSIS. This includes private patrol, retail loss prevention, event security, and contract guard positions.
How much does the California Guard Card cost?+
Total cost is typically $250-$300: about $200 for the 40-hour training course, $60 for the BSIS application fee, and $49-$124 for Live Scan fingerprinting.
How long is the California Guard Card valid?+
2 years from the date of issue. You must complete 8 hours of continuing education each year and renew the BSIS registration every 2 years.
Can I take the Power to Arrest exam online?+
Yes — many BSIS-approved training facilities now offer the 8-hour Power to Arrest course and exam fully online. The exam itself is administered by your training provider.
What's the passing score for the BSIS Power to Arrest exam?+
100% per 16 CCR §628. You must answer every question correctly. Retakes are unlimited until you pass — most students pass within 1-2 attempts.
How long does BSIS take to process my Guard Card application?+
Typically 4-6 weeks from the time BSIS receives your complete application, Live Scan results, and training certificate. You may legally work during processing only after BSIS issues a confirmation.
What's the difference between a Guard Card and an exposed/armed firearm permit?+
A Guard Card (Security Guard Registration) allows unarmed guard work. To carry a firearm on duty, you need an additional Firearms Permit from BSIS — requires a 14-hour firearms training course, separate exam, and recurring requalification.
