SC Clearance Again...

[digerido]

Apparently I have been cleared for 10 years and I was a contractor at the time.

So for instance say you are cleared and the dva hold your clearance but you haven't been in a cleared role for a year, would it still be possible to point the agent of the new role to the dva to confirm the clearance.

If you're still within the original time frame of 5 or 10 years the DVA could confirm the clearance, why wouldn't this approach work?

Maybe that would work who knows, but it shouldn`t though, it lapses 12 months after your last SC role where the clearance was transfered. People I`ve come across with the clearance state security controllers always want to trace the last holder of the clearance. If all security contollers had to do was confirm via the DVA, they`d all be just doing that to keep it simple. A friend had issues where the last holder of the clearance wasn`t easily found (as it was mistakenly not transfered by a previous client). If it was not found it would have been deemed invalid, but if all the new company had to do was to contact the DVA why didn`t they do that?

I still think their would be an issue where DVA say "Yes" and new client finds out it hasn`t been used for 12 months and say "No"

If for example you hadn`t been in a verifiable cleared position for 2 years, you might have been abroad at a Binny Boy training camp.
