If you were convicted of a crime and later the conviction was expunged, must you tell BSIS?

• A. No
• B. Only if you were incarcerated
• C. Only if the conviction occurred within the last five years
• D. Yes

Answer: (D)

The key idea is that licensing boards require full honesty about your criminal history, even after a conviction has been expunged. Expungement may dismiss a conviction for general purposes, but it does not erase the obligation to disclose to the BSIS when applying for or renewing a security license. The BSIS will still consider an expunged conviction when evaluating your fitness to hold a license, and failing to disclose can lead to denial, suspension, or revocation. So you must tell BSIS about the expunged conviction. The other options imply exemptions or timing windows that don’t apply to professional licensing disclosures.
