What is the process to challenge a denial of SORA certification?

The process to challenge a denial of SORA certification involves requesting a hearing before the Office of Administrative Law. This step is a formal part of the appeals process, allowing an applicant to present their case and any supporting evidence regarding the denial of their certification. The Office of Administrative Law serves as an impartial body that can review the circumstances and make a determination based on the facts presented.

This process is crucial as it provides a structured avenue for applicants to seek recourse if they believe their denial was unwarranted. By allowing an applicant to formally appeal through a hearing, the system ensures that due process is maintained and that every individual has a fair opportunity to contest decisions that affect their careers and livelihoods in the security profession.
