Security & Facilities

Licensed officer identification, public verification and site access

Security companies and commercial facility operators require uncompromised identity verification, compliance with licensing regulations, and secure contactless credentials for turnstiles, perimeter gates and control rooms. CardOffice manages physical guard badges, smart access cards and digital passes in one place.

PSPLA licence compliance

Meet Private Security Personnel Licensing Authority requirements. Prominently display guard licences, licence categories, individual certificate numbers and expiry dates with high-contrast layout.

Public instant QR verification

Anyone can scan the QR code on a guard card with a mobile phone to confirm valid deployment, active status and photo match on an official CardOffice verification page.

Turnstiles and door access

Encode contactless RFID, MIFARE Classic or DESFire EV2/EV3 chips directly on desktop printers. Staff badge and access token are united in a single durable physical card.

Digital passes for event crews

Deploying temporary crowd controllers for a weekend festival or sporting event? Issue digital Apple Wallet and Google Wallet passes instantly without printing single-use plastic.

Instant over-the-air revocation

When a contractor departs or a license lapses, revoke the credential immediately in the management console. The verification page reflects the change in real time.

Multi-client site branding

Security firms operating across multiple contracts can manage distinct card templates per client facility, locking company artwork while standardising officer data.

Questions

Frequently asked questions for security providers

Can cards display PSPLA licence numbers and badges?

Yes. Card designs can map individual PSPLA licence numbers, licence expiry dates, certificate classes and company identification directly onto durable card faces.

How does the public QR verification work?

Each card or digital wallet pass includes a unique verification code. When scanned by a smartphone camera, it loads an official, tamper-proof verification page confirming the holder's photo, licence status and current validity without exposing sensitive personal data.

Can we encode door and turnstile access chips?

Yes. Cards can be encoded with MIFARE, DESFire or proximity formats on your desk printer or pre-encoded by our central bureau, allowing guards to access client sites, control rooms and turnstiles with a single credential.

What happens if a security guard loses their card on shift?

An operator can revoke the lost card in seconds from the web portal, preventing unauthorised use. If an on-site card printer is installed, a replacement card can be produced and encoded immediately at the desk.
