Dangerous goods renewals

Renewing a card

Dangerous goods security cards are valid for five years.

Renewal notices are sent ten weeks prior to the card expiry date. You may apply for a renewal online once you have received your renewal notice.  The renewal notice includes a verification code to use when applying.

The card must be renewed online on or before the expiry date or the card will lapse. 

If you require a new dangerous goods security card and your card has expired, you will need to lodge an application for a new dangerous goods security card.

Direct enquiries for renewals to dangerousgoods@demirs.wa.gov.au.

Renewing a recognised security clearance

For recognised security clearances (RSC) used as security clearances in WA for explosives or security sensitive ammonium nitrate (SSAN) licences, reminder notices to renew are sent 8 weeks prior to the expiry date of the RSC.

To avoid suspension of any explosives or SSAN licences held, a copy of the front and back of the renewed RSC is required to be lodged prior to the expiry date of the RSC. Suspension will not apply if you hold a dangerous goods security card.

If you choose to nominate a different RSC to use, the RSC will be pending approval by Resources Safety.
