Application forms are required for issuances of new identification media and for renewals. Identification Media Application forms are available at the Access Control Office. Only Authorized Signatory Representatives are permitted to pick them up. Copies are not acceptable.

Employers will provide Identification Media Applications to their employees.

Your Authorized Signatory (AS) will decide the level of access you will be granted, and you will be required to complete individual training based on what privileges are given by your signatory.

An Authorized Signatory is responsible for checking employee identification to make sure no discrepancies are found. ID’s HAVE TO MATCH 100%

Once the ID’s are verified, AS are responsible for inputting a completed application in the AS Portal before instructing employees to go to the badging office for processing.

The Applicant and Employer sections of the application must be filled out legibly and completely. It must be signed by both the applicant and the Employer’s Authorized Signature Representative.

The Identification Media Application is only valid for 5 business days once it has been signed by the Authorized Signatory Representative.

Bring your two forms of matching identification, one of which must establish identity and one for work authorization, to the badging office. Please be advised that the names on each form of ID must match exactly, or the vetting process may be stopped in order to give the applicant time to provide identification with exactly matching names. It is recommended to bring more than two forms of ID. All forms must be written in the English language, legible and unexpired.

Acceptable Identification Documents

Validation of data from all forms of ID will be conducted. Should the applicant refuse or fail to provide a primary form of identification that can be confirmed; he or she must leave the badging office and apply at a later date when he or she has obtained an approved, confirmable form of identification.
