Within how many working days must an ACO licensee verify proof of current and valid registration for each employee who is subject to registration?

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Answer: (C)

Verifying that employees who must be registered are currently and validly registered within a short, defined window helps keep the alarm industry compliant and protects the public. The rule requires that you confirm the registration status within three working days after the employee begins work in a role that requires registration (working days exclude weekends and holidays).

This means you should obtain the employee’s registration documentation or verify it through the appropriate BSIS system promptly and record the confirmation date, so you’re certain they are legally allowed to perform alarm-related duties. If the registration isn’t current, you should not permit the person to perform those duties until it is updated. The three-day window strikes a balance between timely compliance and the practical steps needed to verify through official channels.
