How long is the validity of a pocket card issued to a registrant?

The validity of a pocket card issued to a registrant is two years. This timeframe aligns with the regulatory requirements established by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Private Security Bureau (PSB). These cards serve as proof of a registrant's status and training within the private security industry, ensuring that they are up to date with their qualifications and certifications. After two years, a registrant must renew their registration to maintain their credentials, which helps ensure that all security personnel meet the required standards and regulations critical for public safety and trust in security operations.

The choice of two years reflects a balance between providing sufficient time for individuals to operate while also ensuring that regulatory oversight is maintained through periodic renewal.
