Frequently asked questions

When should an ID card cancellation notice be issued?+

Whenever a card is lost, not returned after exit, or withdrawn, so security and client sites know the card is invalid.

Should the reason for cancellation be given?+

Give only a neutral category such as lost, not returned or replaced. Avoid sharing personal or disciplinary details in a circular.

What should security do if a cancelled card is shown?+

Deny entry using that card, politely retain it if possible, and inform admin. Visitors can still be allowed through the normal visitor process.
