How often must recurrent CHRCs be accomplished for existing Airport ID Badge holders according to SD 1542-04-08H?

• A. Every year
• B. Every 3 years
• C. Every two (2) years
• D. Every five years

Answer: (C)

Recurrent CHRCs are periodic background checks used to verify that a person who already holds an Airport ID Badge remains eligible for access. According to SD 1542-04-08H, existing badge holders must complete these checks on a two-year cycle. This interval keeps eligibility information up to date by rechecking criminal history and other security factors without creating an undue administrative burden. It helps catch changes in status that could affect access, so credentials can be adjusted or revoked if necessary. If the CHRC isn’t completed within the two-year window, badge access can be suspended or revoked until the check is finished.
