On 18 February 2025, the State Administration Council (“SAC“) enacted the Private Security Service Law (“Law“) under Section 419 of the Constitution of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar. The Law establishes a regulatory framework for private security service companies and businesses employing private security servants, including licensing and permit requirements, compliance obligations, dispute resolution mechanisms, and penalties for violations. It applies to private security services across various sectors, including offices, factories, hotels, banks, schools, hospitals, transport facilities, public events, and religious sites. Before enacting the Law, Myanmar’s private security sector operated without a unified legal framework.
