I was going to search, but couldnt be arsed so...

Im SC cleared until 2014, but havent worked in a SC site for over a year, how long is it before the status is removed and is it a simple process (!) to be recertified again or does it still take endless weeks?

It lapses after 12 months if you don’t use it and it will need to be applied for again with a sponsor, so if you've let it go... its gone, back of the queue I'm afraid.

If you don't use your security clearance it gets bored and goes looking for friendly terrorists or IT contractors to help out. Any takers ?

That sucks then, I was told that once you have got SC clearance its easier to reapply for it when/if it lapses.

I guess he was yanking my crank.

It is easier to reapply if you have lapsed SC. I think it may also be cheaper (for the sponsor)

Cheers for that, perhaps I will still leave it on my CV

Trouble is putting it on as "security clearance (lapsed)" sounds a bit like "BSc Calcutta (failed)"
