If an Airport ID Badge holder does not renew the badge before the expiration date what will most airports need to do?

• A. Issue a temporary badge while renewal is processed
• B. Provide an extension of the expiration date automatically
• C. Resubmit the CHRC and STA requests and wait for results before renewing the expired badge
• D. Waive the renewal if employment continues

Answer: (C)

When an airport badge expires, re-verifying eligibility through updated background checks is required before a new badge can be issued. The process typically involves resubmitting the Criminal History Records Check (CHRC) and the Security Threat Assessment (STA) and waiting for those results to come back before renewal. This ensures the individual still meets security requirements and that no new disqualifying factors have emerged.

Other approaches don’t fit as well because automatic extensions or waiving renewal would bypass the necessary checks, and while some places might issue a temporary access option, the standard practice is to complete the CHRC and STA before renewing the badge.
