Do I need a badge?
In accordance with the Airport Security Plan and TSA regulations, all individuals who require “regular and routine” access to the Airport Operations Area (AOA) must apply for and obtain an Airport ID Badge. The information provided in the application is submitted to the Transportation Security Clearinghouse (TSC). TSC completes a Security Threat Assessment and makes a determination on the applicant’s eligibility for a badge.
Completing the Airport Identification Badge Application for New Badges or Renewals
Airport ID Badges expire every 2 years, on the last day of the month the badge was received. If your badge will expire at the end of the month, you must re-apply for a new Airport ID Badge by completing the following:
- Complete and submit the Airport ID Badge Application
- If operating vehicles on airport property, complete and submit the applicable driving test (movement or non-movement)
It is important to note that if your badge is expired, your access is automatically deactivated, and you must re-apply for a new badge and are subject to a new badge.
