Security Clearance in 1 week!

[Lance]

Are you having trouble with my earlier post? The clearance belongs to the role, not the person filling it. You don't get a certificate, mainly because as soon as you move out of that role, your clearance will lapse (OK, for a year they may consider it still live, but that's merely a convenience, not a rule). All clearance does is ascertain whether or not you are a sufficiently good risk for the criteria established for the role in question. Most of the questions are generic, obviously, which is the bit that NSV are doing (or have done). So either you're allowed to do that role or you aren't. That's as far as it goes.

Clearance is not a right and its's not an attribute of an individual (much as various agencies pretend otherwise) and you never have any certainty your clearance will transfer across roles.

For some sponsors you do get a certificate. Just saying. I have one with a lifetime of 7 years which also surprised me.

OK, but i query its value. Clearance is retained because you are continually monitored and reassessed. A certificate is a point in time.

You sound like my quick to get agitated wife
Thanks for replying thought. I asked as was reading about it in wiki, there is a mention about transfers of SC.

By the way its confirmed my SC is all cleared within 5 days, as somebody said here its possibly quite period at NSVS.

Just having a grumpier than usual day, I suspect...

There is informal arrangement where someone leaving a cleared post is assumed to retain their clearance for one from the leaving date. That's mainly a pragmatic way to cut down the number of clearance requests. However it is informal, and I've had to be-re-cleared when the new role's requirements weren't met by the previous one's, or where the new SSO wasn't happy to accept a commercial clearance when moving from an MOD supplier to an MOD agency.

But always remember the clearance lies with the role, not the person.

I have a card which shows my SC and NPPV3 Status, who holds it, who issued it, validity period and a photo.

Lucky old you. Who issued it? And why?

Over 30 years working in various cleared roles and I haven't got one...

I thought that you were retired? I didn't think that you would still have one, even if one was issued to you.

It's the modern way...

The company still has work to do. But I notice you haven't answered the question....

I am not able to disclose this, for obvious reasons. I wouldn't disclose it on a public forum. The reason why a card is issued with all the details is because it allows unsupervised, unrestricted access to XXXX premises and systems and could include those working in areas where the XXX roles have been identified as designated posts.
