Independent Alabama security training guide — not a government website.

Use this page to understand the usual sequence. Requirements can vary, and the Alabama Security Regulatory Board controls official requirements and every licensing decision.

Start with the path that fits your goal

1. Identify whether you are seeking a new unarmed license, armed licensing information, renewal information, a company license, or general guidance.
2. Review current eligibility information, forms, and instructions on the official Board website.
3. Complete any training that applies to your path.
4. Follow the official fingerprint, background-check, and release-form instructions.
5. Submit the official application and required items through the method specified by the Board.
6. Wait for the Board to make its decision. This website and training providers do not issue licenses.

This 2–3 minute educational guide does not issue a license or replace official Board requirements. Do not enter Social Security numbers, fingerprints, identification documents, criminal-history details, or completed state applications.

Find your next step

Open the Resources hub or review official forms and instructions.

Training completion is not a license. The Board controls licensing requirements, fees, forms, and decisions. This information is educational and is not legal advice.
