After applying for or renewing a guard card, can a security officer work with a temporary registration granted by BSIS?

A security officer can indeed work with a temporary registration granted by the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS) after applying for or renewing a guard card. This temporary registration allows individuals to begin working in a security capacity while their application is being processed.

The system is designed to ensure that there is no significant delay in filling security positions, which are often crucial for businesses and events. The temporary registration indicates that the individual is in the process of completing their application and associated background checks, providing a legal framework for them to operate as a security officer during this interim period. However, it is important that they ensure all other compliance measures are in place while they are operating under this temporary status.
