Applying for Airport ID Badge

When applying for an airport identification badge, you are required to provide two forms of the following identification: (Please see Acceptable Documents, Form I-9) *

Valid Driver’s License
Social Security Card
Valid Passport
Original Birth Certificate

*A military issued ID card or CAC card cannot be utilized as a form of identification if requesting driving privileges, as they fall on the same list as the driver’s license which is required for driving access.

SIDA (Security Identification Display Area) Badges

The SIDA badge application process starts with the company’s “Authorized Signer” who submits the employee’s information into the airport badging office. Once the badging application has been entered, the Authorized Signer will prompt the applicant to schedule their first appointment with the airport security and badging office. At said appointment, all applicants must provide two forms of identification (originals only) as outlined in the “Acceptable Documents I-9 Form”. Any applicant who will require driving privileges will need to provide a valid driver’s license. Once applicant has cleared a background check, the Authorized Signer will schedule them for the appropriate SIDA and/or GVP classes.

Background Checks

Under Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requirements, a fingerprint based criminal history records check (CHRC) is required before an airport SIDA badge can be issued which allows an individual to have unescorted access to the SIDA or AOA. An individual found guilty, or not guilty by reason of insanity within the preceding ten years of the following crimes is ineligible for a SIDA badge. The Pease Development Authority reserves the right to refuse an individual a SIDA badge based on their CHRC even if none of the following crime are disclosed in that CHRC.
