What must you carry on your person while on duty as an alarm professional?

• A. A copy of their contract
• B. A photo ID
• C. Valid and current registration card or a temporary application for registration
• D. A business card

Answer: (C)

You must carry proof of your authorization to perform alarm work on the job. In California, alarm professionals must be registered with the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services, and you are required to have a valid and current registration card or a temporary application for registration while on duty. This allows customers, and authorities if needed, to verify that you are legally qualified to install, service, or maintain alarm systems. The temporary registration covers the period while the official card is being issued, so you can continue working without interruption. A copy of your contract does not prove licensure; a photo ID confirms identity but not registration status; a business card provides contact info only and does not demonstrate that you’re registered to work.
