What must be done if a PERC license is lost or stolen?

Notify the local police
Report the loss to the IDFPR
Ignore it since it is not mandatory
Replace it with a photocopy

The correct answer is: Report the loss to the IDFPR

If a PERC (Permanent Employee Registration Card) license is lost or stolen, the correct course of action is to report the loss to the IDFPR (Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation). This step is crucial because the IDFPR is responsible for maintaining the official records of individuals holding PERC licenses in Illinois. Notifying the IDFPR allows them to update their records and protect you from potential identity theft or misuse of your lost or stolen license. In addition, reporting the loss can facilitate the process of obtaining a replacement license. This ensures that your professional standing is maintained and that you remain compliant with state regulations governing security personnel. Failure to report the loss may lead to complications if someone else attempts to use your license or if there are any legal issues that arise due to its absence from the official records.
