Yes, PSiRA does have age restrictions for individuals applying for verification in the security industry in South Africa.
The minimum age requirement for PSiRA verification eligibility is 18 years old. This means that individuals must be at least 18 years of age to apply for registration and verification with PSiRA to work in the security industry.
However, PSiRA also imposes an upper age limit for verification. As of my last update, the maximum age for first-time registration is 65 years old. This means that individuals who are older than 65 years old are generally not eligible for initial registration or verification with PSiRA in the security industry.
These age limits are set to ensure that individuals entering the security industry meet certain standards of physical fitness, mental agility, and capability to perform the duties required in security roles. They also aim to maintain a certain level of consistency and efficiency in the workforce within the security sector.
It’s important to note that these age restrictions can vary based on specific roles within the security industry and any updates or changes to PSiRA’s regulations. Therefore, it’s advisable to directly consult PSiRA or refer to their official website for the most current information regarding age eligibility criteria for verification in the security industry.
