Airport ID Badging and Fingerprinting
Willard Airport is required by federal regulation to issue identification badges to airport employees and contractors whose job responsibilities require them to have unescorted access to secured areas of the airport.
All individuals applying for an Airport Operations Area (AOA), Security Identification Display Area (SIDA), or Sterile Area ID Badge must undergo a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Security Threat Assessment (STA) as part of the badge issuance.
In addition to the STA, all individuals applying for an airport ID Badge for SIDA or Sterile Areas must undergo an FBI fingerprint-based criminal history check. The airport will deny issuance of the airport ID Badge to any employee who is currently being charged with or is convicted of one of the TSA disqualifying criminal offenses (listed on the Willard Airport ID Badge application) within the last ten years. The airport reserves the right to deny issuance to any badge applicant based on their criminal history.
ID Badge Application
All ID Badge applicants must complete the Willard Airport ID Badge application form. This form must be printed, signed, and turned into the Airport Administration Office. The application must be signed by an Authorized Signatory (manager, group representative). No photocopies will be accepted, all documents must be original.
Acceptable Forms of Identification for Airport Badging
All ID Badge applicants must present acceptable forms of identification/documentation when applying for or renewing an airport ID Badge. The documentation must be able to verify the applicant’s identity. For your reference, please see the link below for a list of acceptable identification documents. Photocopies or scanned documents will not be accepted, all documents must be original and presented in person.
