Important National Guard / CICPA Pass Update: Security Permit Trading Undertaking Required

Companies operating with National Guard / CICPA security permits must stay updated with the latest procedures related to security permit handling, employee awareness, permit usage, and company responsibility.

Important Update for Companies Using National Guard / CICPA Passes

According to the National Guard Permits Division company pledge form, companies are responsible for informing employees about the applicable procedures before submitting applications and must bring the employee's written pledge if requested. The form also highlights key responsibilities such as handing over the security permit to the company before leaving the country, not photographing or sharing the permit, using the permit only within National Guard locations, and informing employees about applicable prohibitions and violations.

Why This Update Matters

Failure to follow the required undertaking and security procedures may affect the processing of Security Permit / CICPA Pass applications.

For many Abu Dhabi companies, even one missing document or compliance step can result in:

• Application delays
• Pass processing issues
• Site access interruptions
• Additional follow-ups
• Operational delays
• Compliance risk

Key Security Permit Responsibilities

Companies and supervisors must carefully manage security permits. The National Guard security undertaking states that security passes must be handled only by a designated company supervisor, permit exchanges between workers are prohibited, and the supervisor is responsible for safekeeping, issuance, and collection of the security permit.

The undertaking also states that the permit must be used only by the authorized person, displayed clearly inside the facility, and must not be lent or shared with others.

No Photography or Social Media Sharing

Companies must pay special attention to the rules related to photography and sharing. The undertaking clearly prohibits photographing sites, facilities, equipment, systems, personnel, or security permits, and also prohibits publishing or circulating such images or information through social media or other media channels.
