If I renew my ID card before its expiry date will I lose the time left on my current card?

All new ID cards are for a specific date range.
New ID cards are for a 2-year period from the expiry of the previous ID, renewal and assessment can be made up to 3 months prior to the ID expiry.

Don’s example;

  • Don’s ID card expires on the 6th February 2016;
  • he pays for his renewal on the 18th November 2015;
  • Don books into a terminal and completes an online assessment on the 12th of December 2015;
  • Dons ID will remain current and be updated from the 6th February 2016 to the 7th February 2018;
  • A new ID card is generated sent to Don with the expiry date of the 7th February 2018;
  • Don has not lost any of his previously paid ID period.

How long are SLP ID cards valid for?

SLP ID cards are valid for 2 years, before you are required to renew your ID card and complete a new competency assessment

Once I have completed the online assessment and passed when do I get my ID card?

The SLP ID card will be processed within three (3) working days of completing the assessment; the card will be mailed to the postal address you have provided to SLP in your online contact details and should arrive within ten (10) – fifteen (15) working days.

Ensure your postal address details are correct before completing your online assessment.

Why do I need to keep my ID card contact details up to date with SLP?

If your contact details are not correct then SLP will not be able to keep you informed of changes to:

  • SLP Load training.
  • advise you by text or email when your ID card is close to expiry.
  • inform you of the latest industry safety updates
  • without the correct details your new ID card may be sent to the wrong address?
