Why Guard Cards Must Be Current for the Super Bowl Assignment

Guard cards are official credentials that certify a security professional’s qualifications and authorization to work in the field. For an event as large and complex as the Super Bowl, having valid guard cards is not just a formality—it is a legal and operational necessity.

• Legal Compliance

Security personnel must meet state and local regulations. Expired or invalid guard cards can lead to fines, legal issues, and removal from the assignment.

• Safety Assurance

Current guard cards indicate that the holder has completed required training and background checks. This ensures that all security staff are prepared to handle the unique challenges of the event.

• Event Integrity

The Super Bowl involves coordination among multiple agencies and organizations. Valid credentials help maintain trust and smooth communication among all parties.

Steps to Verify and Renew Your Guard Card

If you are unsure whether your guard card is current, follow these steps to verify and renew it before the February 1, 2026 deadline:

1. Check Expiration Date

   Look at your guard card to confirm the expiration date. If it expires before or shortly after February 1, 2026, plan to renew it immediately.

   
   

2. Contact Your Licensing Agency

   Reach out to the agency that issued your guard card. They can provide information on renewal procedures, fees, and required documentation.

   
   

1. Complete Required Training

   Many states require refresher courses or continuing education for renewal. Schedule and complete these courses as soon as possible.

   
   

2. Submit Renewal Application

   Fill out the necessary forms and submit them along with any fees. Keep copies of all documents for your records.

   
   

1. Confirm Renewal Status

   After submitting your application, verify that your guard card has been renewed and is valid for the Super Bowl assignment date.
