SIA Licence Help
How long is the SIA Licensing process and how much is it going to cost?
duration
SIA aims to process a minimum of 80% of all correctly completed applications within 30 working days.
This time starts from the day your application is entered onto their system and ends on the day they make their decision. The clock is stopped if your application fails validation - that is, if SIA has to send it back to you because you have not filled it in correctly or you have not provided the required supporting documentation. The clock is reset when you send your application back to them.
Complex applications (for example, applications subject to additional criminality or qualification enquiries and those requiring overseas criminality checks) may take longer than 30 working days.
