If a WGP license is suspended or revoked, what must be done with the paper certificate?

When a WGP license is suspended or revoked, the appropriate action is to surrender the paper certificate to the Department of State. This requirement is in place to ensure that individuals who no longer have a valid license cannot misuse the document or represent themselves as licensed professionals. Surrendering the certificate removes it from circulation and aligns with regulatory practices aimed at maintaining public safety and trust in licensed security services.

Proper notification and surrender of the license help the Department of State keep accurate records of licensed individuals, ensuring that anyone offering services under the authority of such a license is duly authorized. This process is also part of upholding compliance with the law and ensuring accountability within the field.
