I was never actually told I did get it, so I presume this is normal?

It's normal if you don't have the clearance and the company is putting you in under some temporary clearance allowance, or simply not bothering to clear you. Proper clearance involves the filling out of big forms, by you.

If you did have it, it has expired. Lasts 5 years (usually for contractors) and automatically expires 12 months after leaving the SC site.

SC Clearance

Hoping some out there knows a bit about SC clearance. A few years ago I worked for IBM and did work on a few government department sites and had to obtain SC clearance, which I presume I got, cos I was never asked to leave, and have no reasons at all why I would not have gotten it. I was never actually told I did get it, so I presume this is normal?

I am now looking for new roles, and some contracts state SC clearance required, but I have no proof that I have this? Is this how it works? Does SC clearance expire?

Any help appreciated
