Frequently Asked Questions
What score do I need to pass the Nevada PILB work card exam?
You must score 100% on the PILB work card exam, so every question must be answered correctly (NAC 648.341). The exam has 30 questions: 23 on Nevada statutes, including NRS 648 and the private-arrest, malicious-prosecution, impersonation and trespass laws, and 7 on NAC 648 regulations. The PILB study guide covers the same questions and quotes the law behind each answer.
Do I need training before taking the Nevada security guard exam?
No pre-licensing training is required for unarmed security guards in Nevada. You simply need to pass the 30-question PILB exam and complete a background check via LiveScan fingerprinting. However, armed security guards must complete a PILB-approved firearms training course. Many employers provide on-the-job training.
How long is the Nevada PILB work card valid?
A Nevada PILB work card is valid for 5 years from the date of issuance. After 5 years, you must renew through PILB. Working with an expired card is a violation of NRS 648 and can result in misdemeanor charges.
What does the Nevada PILB exam cover?
The exam covers NRS Chapter 648 and NAC Chapter 648, including definitions of private security roles, licensing requirements, grounds for denial of registration (felonies, moral turpitude), firearms carry requirements, restrictions on obtaining information from the DMV, and the rights and obligations of registered employees.
How much does it cost to get a Nevada security guard work card?
The regular work card application fee is $85, or $129 for expedited processing. Fingerprinting and the photo cost extra, and submitting fingerprint cards instead of electronic fingerprints adds a $10 application fee. Fees are not refunded.
