Moving employers with SC

[vkforums]

Can my previous employer withdraw my SC? If i move from my employer. lso how would i know once i get the clearance, is there a code that i will get that i can share with future employers?

I suspect you would have to reapply.

'A friend' might have had to reapply when moving between projects for different government departments even when working for the same employer.

Your new employer requests a transfer.

Your old employer may close it. But it's usually returned live in couple.of days if this happens.

You can request your reference number, but it's not needed.

Your SC Clearance will be held by your previous employer for up to 12 months, from the date your employment ceased, or the end date of your current SC Clearance, whichever is soonest.

If your new employer has a requirement where your role requires an SC Clearance, then their security office will be able to check on the UKSV Portal on the validity of your clearance, and undertake a transfer of your clearance to themselves.

No longer the case. More often or not now it's suspended when you leave a role but it's easily re activated when your new employer adopts it within 12 months.

Perhaps I should have said that it was "parked"
