Airport Badging
Badging at Corpus Christi International Airport (CCIA) is a very important part of our efforts to keep things safe and secure for passengers, tenants, employees, and visitors. While every airport is set up to manage badging a little differently, we like to keep things simple for all who need to communicate with us and for those who will be coming in to complete the process. The information provided here is designed to help with planning.
Every new employee or contractor employee who is applying for a badge for the first time, must go through the classroom training. The Security Identification Display Area (SIDA) training takes about an hour. In addition, any person who will need driving privileges on the airfield or on the Aircraft Operating Area (AOA) will need to stay an additional hour for that specialized training.
Requirements
Applicants must meet all requirements of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), including a formal application, background check, fingerprinting (if applicable), and identity.
- A key part of the badging process is to present the appropriate documents for verifying identity and employment. Please review the list of acceptable documents to be presented at the Badging office during a scheduled appointment for a badge application to be processed.
- Appointments are required.
