How to Apply for an Employee Badge

All badge applicants must complete the required documentation, pass the necessary background checks, pay the required fees, and successfully complete training. 

All the forms needed for the badging process are individually linked in the steps below and are able to be filled out on a computer. The forms cannot be saved, so if you do not complete a form before you close it out, you will need to start again when you reopen the form. 

Follow the steps below, or print out this helpful checklist.

If you are unsure about what forms you need to complete, your employer can guide you. Once completed, print the forms double sided (please note: Your form must be typed and printed double sided, no exceptions) and return to your employer for approval and further instructions.

  1. Complete the Security Badge Application Form and read the Security Responsibilities of Employees and Other Persons. All applicants must fill out Section 1 of the Security Badge Application Form. If you are an employee who will have access to security sensitive areas, you must complete both Sections 1 and 2. Once you have filled out the form, print the form double sided. This document will not be accepted if it is not printed double sided. You will bring this form to the employer’s designated Authorized Signatory for signature, and then you will bring it to the Badging Office.
  2. Complete the Acceptable ID Documents List. You will bring the same documents with you that are checked on this form to the employer’s designated Authorized Signatory for their signature and then to the Badging Office.
  3. Complete and sign the Notice of Criminal History Records Check. Once you have filled out the form, print the form double sided. This document will not be accepted if it is not printed double sided. Sign and date both the front and the back of the form and bring it to the employer’s designated Authorized Signatory for signature, and then to the Badging Office. If you have a Disqualifying Crime, you will need to speak to the employer’s designated Authorized Signatory.
  4. Complete and sign the Notice of Privacy Act and Certification Statements. You will bring this form to the Badging Office.
  5. If your job requires you to drive equipment or vehicles on any part of the airport where aircraft operations occur or in restricted areas, complete and sign the Driver’s License Verification for Operating on the AOA of OKC Airport. You must have a valid driver’s license, state IDs will not be accepted. You will bring this form to the Badging Office at which time you will be scheduled for driving training.

Please double-check that you have completed all the applicable documents. All forms must first be brought to your employer’s designated Authorized Signatory for review and signatures and then to the badging office. Do not fold any of the documents.

Once all forms have been completed and signed by your employer’s designated Authorized Signatory, you can come to the badging office to begin the badging process.
