Agency Licensing

New & Renewal License Applicants

New license applications and license renewal applications are submitted through the Thentia Portals. CLEET will no longer accept paper applications.

Application payment can be made by online credit card, certified check, company check, or money order. Please make sure payment includes invoice number and is for only one applicant fee (not multiple). Payment will be returned if payment is not the exact amount that is required on the invoice.

If applicant has ever had former license with CLEET (law enforcement or security), applicant must contact CLEET to verify the email address on file before submitting application.

Online applications are paid in two parts:

  1. Applicant will pay twenty percent (20%) of the licensing fee when submitting the application.
  2. Once application is approved, the applicant receives an email informing them they are approved pending the rest of the application fee. Once the fee is paid, the applicant will be able to login and print their license.
  3. The email provides a link to pay the remaining application fee amount.
  4. The remaining application amount is also payable within your Thentia account.
