§ 1111. General Requirements.

General requirements for issuance or renewal of an armored car license are as follows:

(a) Eligibility for License. A license to operate privately owned armored cars may be issued only to:

(1) Persons or firms regularly hired to transport money or other valuables that require special security

(2) Financial institutions

(3) Armored car dealers or manufacturers

(4) Collectors of vehicles of historic value or special interest and originally designed, manufactured, or equipped as armored cars

(5) Other persons or entities that can show legitimate need.

(b) License Applications. An armored car license application shall require such information as the department deems necessary to determine whether any applicant shall be disqualified on grounds set forth in Vehicle Code Sections 2541 and 2542.

(1) Information may include the business name, owner-applicant's name, address, fingerprints, birth date, social security number, driver license number, and personal history.

(2) Every license application shall be signed and verified by the owner-applicant or an authorized representative thereof.

(3) Each application for an initial or renewal license shall be accompanied by:

(A) A list of armored cars to be operated under the license with each vehicle identified by year model, make, vehicle identification number, and license plate number.

(B) One acceptable fingerprint card for each applicant owner, partner, officer, director and controlling shareholder. The fingerprint cards are not required with license renewal applications except for persons added since last licensed. The fingerprint card requirement may be waived upon application to the department from a corporation where the requirement would be burdensome because there exists a large number of officers, directors, or controlling shareholders.

(c) License Cancelation and Replacement. An armored car license may be canceled without prejudice when it has been issued in error or voluntarily surrendered, or has expired. Any person after surrendering a license voluntarily may immediately apply for a replacement license for the unexpired term without fee.

(1) Any licensee changing the name or address from that on the license shall surrender the license to the department for cancelation within 10 days thereafter, and may apply for a replacement license. Effective January 1, 1983, a change of address shall be reported within 10 days, but surrender of the license is not required.

(2) Surrender and cancelation will be permitted at any time at the request of the licensee.

(3) Any license expired over 30 days is no longer renewable and shall be canceled.
