Expired Guard Card Information (After June 30, 2024)

The Guard Card Renewal Deadline Was June 30, 2024

 Holders of an expired GDE license had one-year in which to restore the license (June 30, 2025). That date has now passed, the guard card cannot be restored.

The following information is from the Board of Private Detectives and Guards

“Guard employee registrations NOT renewed by June 30, 2024, are forfeited and the holders of a forfeited registration are considered unregistered and may not engage in the trade or profession. Registrants who did not restore their registrations within the one (1) year period (by June 30, 2025) are required to file as new applicants.”

GDE LICENSE (Guard Cards) That Were Not Renewed By June 30, 2024 Are Now Forfeit. Continuing to work as a Security Guard after the license expired and not restored is considered to be unlicensed/unregistered and in violation of Hawaii Revised Statutes and Hawaii Administrative Rules and the person may be subject to prosecution by the State of Hawaii.
