SORA Certification and Renewal Training for Security Officers

SSTA offers affordable SORA certification and renewal training, including specialized armed security renewal sessions tailored for security professionals. Feel free to contact us for more information. 

When to Renew

  • You can renew your certification up to 90 days before it expires. 
  • Renewing early does not change your two-year term. 
  • You must renew before your expiration date. 

Consequences of Expiration

If your certification expires, you must redo the original SORA certification process. 

How to Renew

  1. Log into your NJ State Police account. 
  2. Navigate to “Renewal Applicant” > “My Applications” > “Security Officer” > “Submit Renewal.”
  3. Have your credit card ready; the system will log you out if you take too long.

Cost of Renewal

The renewal fee is $80.87, plus the cost of the mandatory one-day recertification class.

Training Requirement

You must complete a one-day refresher course by an NJSP-certified instructor before your expiration date. 

Reason for Higher Renewal Cost

The renewal fee includes the combined cost of processing your background check and the renewal itself, which is less than the combined cost of the initial registration ($75.00) and fingerprinting ($68.00).
