PSIRA Assistance

How we can assist

PSIRA is a complex and costly process which requires a host of registrations and supporting documents.

We are able to assist with the following services:  new company registration, tax clearance, insignia, resolutions and the business plan, but there are some you will also need to gather yourself, eg. grade B security certificates and CVs for all directors, lease agreement and proof of contact number

Once we have complete all of the documents, the company director needs to register on the PSIRA website, make payment of the R7100 non-refundable registration fee and proceed to upload the documents onto their website.

How do I track my business application?

Log on to the PSIRA website and click on Business Status verification; enter your company name and the capture code.  

What are the PSIRA Requirements to renew a business certificate?

There are 4 requirements - a letter on the letterhead of the business requesting the renewal; all annual fees paid in full; a valid, current, tax clearance certificate for the company; if the business has employees, the company is required to be registered for COID.

Do I need to collect my individual certificate in person?

Yes, since the individual’s fingerprints are required to print the certificate they can only be collected in person. 

Do I need to make an appointment to collect my certificate?

Yes, absolutely.  You will need to schedule an appointment either online or via the mobile app or you will be turned away at the branch. 

Do we offer Grade B training for directors?

No we don`t. However all the directors of a PSiRA security company are required to complete a Grade B Security Training course at an accredited training institution, in their own time. While they complete this training, we can assist with registering the company at CIPC and provide all the necessary supporting documents that PSiRA requires.

Please note, we do not offer Grade A-E training, but we can help with the company registration and documentation during this period. The company registration and training can happen simultaneously. However, PSiRA will only issue certification once the directors have completed their Grade B training.
