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.

How can I get a badge?

The following are the steps for completing the badging process:

New Badges

1. Schedule a badging appointment through the scheduling portal. The link to the scheduling portal can be found below.
2. Attend the badging appointment at the scheduled time with your two forms of ID, badging paperwork that has been signed by a signatory, and a form of payment (if necessary). A list of acceptable documents can be found below.
3. Once the background process is completed, an email will be sent to the badge holder and their signatory informing them that the applicant can begin the testing process. The badge holder will access the training portal and complete all assigned training remotely. The badge holder’s badge number is their Unique ID. A link to the training portal can be found below.
4. Once the assigned training is completed, the badge holder will schedule another badging appointment where they will receive their new badge.
