The Security Industry Authority has announced fee changes from 1 June 2026, but for most security workers the headline is simple: the standard SIA licence application fee is not going up again.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are applying for your first SIA licence<\/a> or renewing the same licence type, the fee remains \u00a3204. That figure already changed on 1 April 2026, when the SIA ended the temporary \u00a320 rebate<\/a> that had reduced the amount applicants paid from \u00a3204 to \u00a3184. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So is this latest news<\/a> relevant to security officers and SIA licence applicants? Yes, but only in a specific situation. It matters most if you plan to apply for an additional SIA licence in another sector, such as adding CCTV after getting a Door Supervisor licence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Has Changed For Individual Licence Applicants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The SIA still offers a 50% discount for qualifying additional licences. The change is that from 1 June 2026<\/a>, the discount only <\/strong>applies if the additional licence application is made on the same day and on the same application form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That matters because the current SIA fee is \u00a3204 for one licence. If the additional-licence discount applies, the extra licence costs \u00a3102 instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Situation<\/strong><\/td>What You Pay<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
One SIA licence application<\/td>\u00a3204<\/td><\/tr>
Qualifying additional licence, with the 50% discount<\/td>\u00a3102<\/td><\/tr>
Additional licence without the discount<\/td>\u00a3204<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In other words, if you know you want more than one licence type, the timing of your application now matters more. Applying separately later could mean paying the full fee for the second licence instead of the discounted amount, depending on your circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who Is This Most Relevant For?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This update is most useful for people planning their next step in the security industry. For example, you may already be working as a door supervisor and want to add a CCTV licence to open up control room work. Or you may be comparing licence routes before booking training and want to understand the full cost of applying for more than one SIA licence<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not a major change for someone simply renewing one licence in the same sector. The SIA says the renewal fee is the same as a new licence application: \u00a3204.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your licence is coming up for renewal, the more important thing is to check your expiry date and plan early. The SIA says you can apply to renew 4 months before your current licence expires, and you do not lose time by renewing early because the remaining time is added to the new licence. You can also use our SIA licence renewal checklist<\/a> to plan the training and documents you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Working<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What Has Not Changed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The standard individual licence fee has not changed in this June update. It remains \u00a3204 for a new licence or renewal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The June announcement also includes an Approved Contractor Scheme fee rise, but that mainly affects security businesses rather than individual licence applicants. The ACS annual registration fee per licensable individual deployed has increased from \u00a315 to \u00a325. That is useful industry context, but it is not the fee most workers pay when applying for an SIA licence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For applicants, the practical takeaway is not \u201cyour licence fee has gone up again\u201d. It is: if you want more than one licence type, check whether you can apply together and qualify for the additional-licence discount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Should Security Workers Do Now?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are applying for your first licence, budget for the \u00a3204 SIA application fee and make sure you have completed the right licence-linked qualification before you apply. You can explore different SIA courses<\/a> to compare training routes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are thinking about adding another licence, plan before you submit anything. Check the official SIA rules, decide whether you want to apply for multiple SIA licence types<\/a> at the same time, and avoid spacing applications out without understanding the SIA licence cost<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are renewing, focus on your renewal window, refresher training and documents. Door supervisors, security guards and close protection operatives have refresher training requirements at renewal, and first aid requirements apply before refresher training in the relevant sectors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"sia<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Be Careful With \u201cCheap Licence\u201d Offers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One final point: be wary of anyone offering to \u201csort your SIA licence\u201d for a suspiciously low fee. You should apply through the official SIA process, either through your own SIA online account or through a legitimate employer or organisation route where your account is properly linked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SIA licence fee is not refundable, so it is worth getting the process right before you pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bottom Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This SIA fee update is relevant to security workers, but only in a narrow and practical way. Your standard SIA licence fee is still \u00a3204. The key change is that the 50% discount for an additional licence now only applies when the additional application is made on the same day and on the same application form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you only need one licence, do not panic. If you want more than one licence type, plan your applications carefully. The difference between a discounted additional licence and a full-price separate licence is \u00a3102, so it is worth checking before you apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
