Badging & Credentialing
Badge & ID
If you work in a secured or sterile area, or other areas of the terminal and ramp, you are required to obtain an Access Media (SIDA) badge. If you are a hanger owner, airport tenant, one of their employees, or anyone else who conducts business or is based on the general aviation side of the airfield must obtain an airport issued Air Operations Area (AOA) identification badge for unescorted access to the aviation ramp area.
Where can I get a badge?
For badge applications, go to the Airport Public Safety office, or check the links below. All badges require two pieces of government issued identification listed on the I-9 form. If you were born in a foreign country, you will need to provide proof of U.S. citizenship or the proper I-9 documentation to establish legal residency. If you have not renewed your badge thirty days prior to the expiration date, a new application process is required to retrieve a new badge. All training must be completed within 30 days of your background check approval.
