What is the term length of an Alarm Company Operator license?

• A. One year
• B. Three years
• C. Two years
• D. Five years

Answer: (C)

The term length for an Alarm Company Operator license is two years. This two-year cycle is set by the state agency (BSIS) that issues the license, and licenses must be renewed every two years to remain active. Renewal typically involves updating information, paying the renewal fee, and meeting any renewal requirements. Shorter terms (one year) would increase administrative handling, while longer terms (three or five years) are not how this license is structured. If you don’t renew on time, the license expires and you’d need to go through the renewal process to operate legally again.
