Licenses

All alarm companies that install, monitor, service, or respond to alarm systems are required to be licensed by the state in which they operate. In order for an alarm company to seek licensure, they must have a Qualifying Agent who has passed rigorous licensing examination.

In addition, each individual applicant, partner, or corporate officer must meet the following requirements:

• Be 18 years or older
• Undergo a criminal history background check through the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
• Have committed no offense or violation of the Alarm Company Act that would be grounds for license suspension or revocation
