Who must be present when individuals are applying for an Airport ID Badge?

• A. Either an Airport Operator or a Law Enforcement Officer
• B. A Security Guard
• C. A Human Resources Manager
• D. The Applicant Only

Answer: (A)

Issuing an Airport ID Badge requires an authorized verifier who oversees the access control process to be present to approve and validate the request. That authority is held by either the Airport Operator or a Law Enforcement Officer involved in the badge program. Their presence ensures the person’s identity is confirmed, the access needs are justified, and proper records are maintained for security and accountability. A Security Guard typically isn’t empowered to authorize badge issuance, a Human Resources Manager handles general employment logistics but not security access controls, and the applicant cannot grant their own badge.
