    When Can You Renew Your Arizona Guard Card?

    Your renewal window opens 60 days before your expiration date and stays open until 90 days after it. Take the refresher course any time inside that window.

    Inside the window

    • Up to 60 days before your card expires
    • Up to 90 days after it expires
    • This refresher course is all the training you need

    Outside the window

    • If your card expired more than 90 days ago, verify with AZ DPS whether you must reapply as a new applicant.
    • If you have never held an AZ guard card, you need the certification course instead

    How long is an Arizona guard card valid? Insert the verified validity period from AZ DPS. Knowing the date your card expires is what sets the 60-day window above.

    Renewal FAQs

    Worded exactly as Google shows them in the People Also Ask box on this page’s ranking keywords.

    How do I renew my AZ guard card?
    Complete this 8-hour DPS-approved refresher course, then submit your renewal packet to Arizona DPS. The four steps are set out above. The course includes a DPS Application Checklist so nothing is missed.
    How long do you have to renew your guard card in Arizona?
    From 60 days before your expiration date until 90 days after it. Past that window, verify with AZ DPS whether you must reapply as a new applicant.
    Can I renew my AZ guard card online?
    The 8-hour refresher training is fully online and self-paced. Confirm which parts of the DPS renewal submission can be completed online versus by mail.
    How much does it cost to renew an AZ guard card?
    This refresher course is $35 (normally $45). Arizona DPS charges a separate renewal fee, and the items listed under Important above are extra. Insert the current DPS renewal fee.
    How long is an AZ guard card good for?
    Insert the verified validity period from AZ DPS. That date is what opens your 60-day renewal window.
    What happens if my guard card already expired?
    You can still use this course for up to 90 days after expiry. Beyond 90 days, confirm with DPS whether you must start again as a new applicant — in that case you need the certification course.
    Do I need to be fingerprinted again to renew?
    Confirm the current DPS rule on re-fingerprinting for renewals.
    How do I check the status of my Arizona guard card?
    Short answer plus a link to the DPS licensing status page. Detailed status-check instructions belong on their own page — the status cluster is worth roughly 400 searches a month at KD 1–9 and currently has no Guard Card page at all.
