What is the minimum age requirement for obtaining a SORA certification?

The minimum age requirement for obtaining a SORA certification is 18 years old. This requirement is in place to ensure that individuals seeking to serve as security officers have reached the legal age of majority, which carries with it certain responsibilities and rights. At 18, individuals are generally considered adults in the eyes of the law, allowing them to undertake job responsibilities and make legal decisions independently.

This age requirement aligns with the standards set by the state, emphasizing the need for a level of maturity and accountability necessary in security roles, where individuals are often entrusted with the safety and security of others.
