Why Does DVPSTA Require Photo Identification at Sign-Up?
Per F.A.C. (Florida Administrative Code) 5n-1.132(5)-(m), all sign-up requests are required by DVPSTA and Florida law to upload valid photo identification to continue. If prompted, please upload as soon as convenient. If no identification is uploaded, your sign-up request will be denied by the DVPSTA Administration.
In addition, Licenses "D" and "G" are required by Florida Statutes to require a photo identification every time before entering the course.
Do I have to submit my ID every time I log in, even though I submitted it during the initial qualification?
Yes. Under Florida online security training guidelines, identity verification and attendance monitoring are required throughout the course to ensure the registered student is the person actively participating in training. Florida law requires licensed schools and instructors to verify the applicant’s identity, attendance, and course participation for online Class “D” and Class “G” training.
For compliance purposes, DVPSTA may require photo identification verification during logins or at various points throughout the course session. This helps maintain compliance with Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) regulations and protects the integrity of state-required training records.
When will I receive the Certificate of Security Officer Training (Form FDACS-16103)?
Within 3 business days of completing your D‑License course, you will receive an email containing:
Your Official Certificate of Security Officer Training
The D‑License Application
Information on the associated fees for D‑License processing
Do I have to submit fingerprints to FDACS for processing my D-License?
Yes — for a Class D security officer license issued by FDACS in Florida, you are required to submit fingerprints. This is a mandatory part of the background check process for private security licensing. This will occur on the day of your appointment, in addition to your pictures.
I do not live in Florida, can I still enroll in the D-License course?
Yes! We have had many students across the United States — including Texas, New York, and Chicago — successfully complete our 100% online D‑License course with a Live Instructor.
However, FDACS allows you to apply by mail, in-person, or online to one of their Florida regional offices. This means you must travel to Florida to submit your application, fingerprints, and required documents.

The training for Class D security license was absolutely fantastic. Darwin’s dedication to public safety and education are apparent with his presentation of materials and subjects. He presents a well organized course that builds on skill sets in a logical and systematic way. I learned a ton of new material and strengthened my knowledge of previous concepts. The companies help was by far the best part. Recommend Darwin to anyone seeking security, medical, fire, and overall training in the public safety sector.
Thanks Team!!

As a woman with no prior experience in security or firearms, I was nervous at first, but Darwin made the entire training experience amazing. He was patient, supportive, and explained everything clearly, making me feel comfortable and confident every step of the way. The security, firearm, and concealed carry courses were thorough and focused on safety and real-world skills. Thanks to Darwin’s expert guidance, I now feel empowered and well-prepared to pursue my security license and handle a firearm responsibly. I highly recommend Darwin as an instructor to anyone, especially beginners like me.
