Badge Application Form

In accordance with airport policies and Federal regulations, all airport workers (employees, tenants, contractors, etc.) must obtain and display an identification badge issued by the Houston Airport System when working on the airport site.

The same Form is used at all HAS facilities (Intercontinental /IAH; Hobby/HOU; and, Ellington/EFD). However, a separate Application is needed at each airport if you will be working at multiple HAS facilities.

You must complete and sign a Badge Application Form.

Depending on where you will be working in the the airport complex, prior to approval, you will be fingerprinted and must undergo a background and criminal history record check. Your employer will provide you with more information.

The Badge Application Form is a five (5) page document which consists of two major components/parts:

Security Clearance Request
Attachment 1 - Disqualifying Crimes

The following sections explain the Form in more detail, including how you can obtain and complete the Form from this web form.
