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)"

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

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

[marcus2704]

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.

I guess he was yanking my crank.

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 ?

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?

Another permie wishing he could be a contractor, but just can't be arsed as it's all too much hassle. Or perhaps you are one of those contractors who like to go through and umbrella because it's easy and you get to claim all these expenses without incurring them.....

You ought to apply to the foreign office and write doco about WMDs.

Do none of the newbies ever do a search before asking the same question for the millionth time? FFS.

You have to have a sponsor.
