Airport Identification Badge

Individuals working in Secured/Sterile Areas and other restricted areas of the Airport Terminal and ramp are required to obtain an airport-issued Secured Identification Display Area (SIDA) badge.

Hangar owners, airport tenants and their employees, or anyone who conducts business or is based on the general aviation side of the airfield must obtain an airport-issued Air Operations Area (AOA) identification badge for unescorted access to the aviation ramp area.

As of July 28, 2025, all badge applicants must apply for a Tri-Cities Airport badge through AirBadge.

Applications for badging may be requested by completing and returning a Reason for Access Form and emailing it to the badging office at [email protected]. If accepted, you will be sent an invitation email from AirBadge to create a password for your account and begin the application process. Two pieces of government-issued ID will be required. If you were born in a foreign country, you will need to provide proof of US citizenship or the proper I9 documentation to establish legal residency. There is a $56 fee for a SIDA badge and a $25 fee for an AOA badge. If payment is required, you will need pay through the Port of Pasco’s secure portal.

Badging office hours are Tuesday-Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. For more information, call 509-547-6352.
