SUBMIT YOUR GUARD EMPLOYEE REGISTRATION APPLICATION

Create a MYPVL account with the DCCA and submit your Guard Employee Registration (GDE) application. You don’t wait for the fingerprint results as they go directly to the State of Hawaii, but we suggest wait one-day after being fingerprinted to ensure the results have been received by the State.

To create a MYPVL account go to https://pvl.ehawaii.gov/mypvl/ and follow the instructions.

After creating the account you will exit; then log back into your MYPVL account,

  • Click on “My Applications”
  • Then on “Apply for New License”.
  • Select “Guard Employee Registration”.
  • Read and answer the application information, upload your Certificate of Instruction (PDF or JPEG) and any other required documents (if you answer “Yes” to questions #3, 4, 5, or 6 you must provide additional documents.  Question #4 references professional licenses not drivers license), make payment, and submit your GDE application.

The DCCA states to expect 15-20 business days to process a completed application.  They may process your application sooner or take longer. To check the status of your application, go to your MYPVL account, it will show the status and any messages. If there is a message, be sure to read it and comply with any instructions or requests from the DCCA!  When your GDE-# (“guard card”) is issued the DCCA will email you a notice of licensure.
