After CBP approves issuance, where is the actual Customs Access Seal attached to the Airport ID Badge?

• A. The Port Director's office
• B. The security checkpoint
• C. The credentialing office
• D. The airline's badge office

Answer: (C)

The actual Customs Access Seal is applied by the credentialing office. This team is responsible for the final assembly of credentials—printing or updating the badge, adding security features, and affixing the CBP seal so the badge shows federal approval and can be trusted for access to CBP-controlled areas. The Port Director’s office handles broader administrative decisions, not the physical badge modification. The security checkpoint is for screening, not badge issuance or modification. The airline’s badge office handles airline staff badges, not CBP-issued badges. Affixing the seal in the credentialing office ensures proper control, accountability, and consistency with issuance standards.
