I need to renew my badge

It is the responsibility of each badge holder to maintain a current airport-issued identification badge. Your badge must be renewed before the badge expires. All badge renewals will require an appointment and badges can be renewed up to 30 days before expiration, which is generally your birthday. If your badge becomes expired for more than 30 days, you will have to go through the entire badging process again as a new applicant.


For your badge renewal appointment, please bring with you the following completed forms:

  1. Badge and Fingerprint / STA Application (This form will not be accepted unless it is signed by your Authorized Signer.)
  2. Privacy Act Notice

There are two versions of the Badge and Fingerprint / STA Application.  The first is a fillable PDF form, where you can complete the form electronically and then print it (you cannot save the information typed into the form).  The second is a regular PDF form, where you will need to print the form and hand-write the information.

You will also need to provide in the Badging Office your two forms of ID from the 
List of Acceptable Documents. Copies are not accepted.


The Badge and Fingerprint / STA Application must be completed in its entirety.  If you meet one of the following three conditions listed below, you must provide those identifications used to complete the Badge and Fingerprint / STA Application.  The three conditions are:

     1.  You are not a U.S. citizen
     2.  You hold a non-immigrant visa
     3.  You are a U.S. citizen born abroad or a naturalized U.S. citizen

 

For Secured/SIDA badges (gold and blue), Sterile Area badges (white), AOA badges (red) and anyone who drives, security training is taken via the IET (Interactive Employee Training) computer. There are SIDA, Non-Movement Area Driving and Movement Area Driving components. Please allow about one hour for SIDA training and 30 minutes for each driving training component.  In addition, depending on your particular access level, there may be an additional security brief to read and initial.  Further, for those individuals with a Public ID badge, a security awareness training module will also be completed on the IET computer.  Once your training or security briefs are successfully completed, the new badge is issued.

All identification badges issued by the Pensacola International Airport are the property of the Airport and must be returned immediately under the following conditions:

  1. Upon expiration of the badge (it is a serious security violation to display an expired badge)
  2. Upon separation of employment (for any reason)
  3. When job function no longer requires an airport-issued identification badge
  4. Upon demand of the Pensacola International Airport
  5. Upon conviction of any of the disqualifying crimes (see CFR Title 49: Transportation § 1542.209 letter (d) for a list of disqualifying crimes).

All badges that are lost, stolen or otherwise unaccounted for must be reported immediately to the Airport Operations Center (AOC) at (850) 436-5000.

 


I need to apply for a key

Please fill out the Key Request form and return it to the Badging Office.

 

I have an employee who is no longer with my company

If you have not already done so, please contact the AOC to advise of the employee’s separation. In addition, please fill out the Termination Notification form and return it to the Badging Office.

 

My badge or key has been lost or stolen

If you have not done so already, call the AOC immediately at (850) 436-5000 to make your notification. In addition, please fill out the Lost/Stolen Badge or Key form and return it to the Badging Office.

 

My company needs authorization to obtain badges

The following information will introduce your company to the badging procedures at the Pensacola International Airport. To begin, if your company does not have a current agreement with the Pensacola International Airport, please contact the Airport at (850) 436-5000 to have your “Authorization to Badge form” completed.  Your Airport contact person will obtain all the necessary information from you and the completed form will be submitted to Airport Operations.  This form, which is signed-off by the Airport Security Coordinator, outlines your company’s access level, driving privileges (if necessary) and indicates your company’s security training requirements.

Next, the Authorized Signature Letter form must be completed. This form includes one Primary Authorized Signer and one Secondary Authorized Signer who are authorized to sign the Badge and Fingerprint / STA Application.  The Badging Office will only accept this form with one or two signatories (and it is highly recommended to have two Authorized Signers).  Additional signatories are not permitted.  Additionally, this form requires both a printed name and a signature on the form. All employees listed on the Authorized Signature Letter form must obtain an airport-issued identification badge (see "I need to apply for a badge") by completing a Criminal History Record Check (CHRC), Security Threat Assessment (STA), security training and the Authorized Signer training.

The Authorized Signer training for your two Authorized Signers consists of a module on the IET (Interactive Employee Training) computer and the “Authorized Signer Training form.”  The computer training and the form must be completed in the Airport Badging Office by the Primary and Secondary Authorized Signers.  Please allow at least 30 minutes for this training.  The Authorized Signer Training will communicate the signatory’s responsibilities and duties and requires all signatories to certify they have completed and understand the training. The Authorized Signer Training is required annually.  Contact the Badging Office at (850) 436-5113 to make an appointment to complete your AS training.

 

I need to authorize a contractor / sub-contractor / company to obtain badges

Please download the Authorization to Badge form and submit it to the Operations Department.  For a fillable version in Word, please email Annmarie Greer (agreer@cityofpensacola.com).

 

I need to apply for a badge

Applying for a new badge is a two-appointment process with the Airport Badging Office. For your first appointment, please bring with you the following completed forms:

    1. Badge and Fingerprint / STA Application (This form will not be accepted unless it is signed by your Authorized Signer.)
    2. Privacy Act Notice

There are two versions of the Badge and Fingerprint / STA Application.  The first is a fillable PDF form, where you can complete the form electronically and then print it (you cannot save the information typed into the form).  The second is a regular PDF form, where you will need to print the form and hand-write the information.

All badge applicants will be fingerprinted unless:

Please bring with you a completed CHRC Form for Airlines or provide the Badging Office with a Certification of Criminal History Investigation / Continual Employment on company letterhead.
  2. You are applying for an AOA badge or ID card.
  3. You are an employee of the Federal, state or local government (including a law enforcement officer) who, as a condition of employment, has been subjected to an employment investigation that includes a criminal records check.

The paperwork and fingerprinting process constitute the first appointment. The Criminal History Records Check (CHRC) and STA (Security Threat Assessment) clearance must occur before the individual proceeds any further in the process. Please note these checks and clearances can take up to two weeks.
 

Seven to ten (7 – 10) business days after your initial appointment, please contact the Badging Office at (850) 436-5113 to inquire about your clearances. If all required information has been received, your second appointment will be made for you to take your training. For Secured/SIDA badges (gold and blue), Sterile Area badges (white), AOA badges (red) and anyone who drives, security training is taken via the IET (Interactive Employee Training) computer. There are SIDA, Non-Movement Area Driving and Movement Area Driving components. Please allow about one hour for SIDA training and 30 minutes for each driving training component.  In addition, depending on your particular access level, there may be an additional security brief to read and initial.  Further, for those individuals with a Public ID badge, a security awareness training module will also be completed on the IET computer.  Once your training or security briefs are successfully completed, the new badge is issued.
