Check a security clearance status

To check the status of a security clearance issued under the Explosives Act 1999, use the Queensland Explosives Security Clearance Status (QESC) portal.

Enter details into the QESC portal exactly as they appear on the individual's security clearance:

• last name
• the QESC card number
  • for digital QESC cards, include all text (e.g. LIC-QESC-00XXX)
  • for physical QESC cards, include all preceding zeros (e.g. 0000XXXXX-01).

For individuals who have a single name only, email the Explosives Inspectorate at qesc@rshq.qld.gov.au to confirm the status of their security clearance.
