Badge Communications
As a courtesy, reminders are emailed for renewals. Please remember it is your responsibility to renew your badge before the expiration date if you wish to maintain airport access. Badging costs encompass background checks, materials, training, equipment, and countless administrative hours. Current badging fees do not cover the minimum costs related to materials and badge administration. Airport users can help keep fees and security requirements down by complying with badging requirements.
If you miss the deadline for renewal (which is also printed on the face of your badge), your badge will be turned off on the expiration date. After a one (1) month grace period you will need to restart the application process. This is done to protect personal information.
Thank you for helping keep the Airport compliant with Federal requirements!
