If you want to get a license to operate an alarm company, you need to apply in writing to the chief, following the specific format set by the director, and include the original license fee. The chief can ask for additional information if needed. Your application must include your name, the business name, and the office location. Most of the details you provide will remain confidential, except your name, the business's name and address, and the registration number. Information about the license's status can be made public and shared with law enforcement when necessary. You can't use a business name that sounds like a government or law enforcement agency or suggests services you don't offer.

If you are applying as an individual, partner, corporate officer, or manager and need licensing in California under this specific section, you must fill out a personal ID form, provide two fingerprint sets, and share your home and job history for the past five years. One fingerprint set goes to the FBI for a background check.

The bureau can charge a $3 fee for processing these fingerprints, but if you're using an electronic system for fingerprints, this fee doesn't apply.

This law will be in effect until January 1, 2030, after which it will no longer be valid.
