The AirBadge badge application process is designed to guide anyone through the badge application process, even if you are not a U.S. citizen. These instructions are for Canadian citizens who:
- Are not also U.S. citizens.
- Do not possess an unexpired Form I-551 Permanent Resident Card (“Green Card”).
- Do not possess an unexpired Form I-766 Employment Authorization Document.
Step 1: Find your I-94.
The I-94 is the Arrival-Departure Record for foreign visitors to the U.S.
- Check if an I-94 was attached to your entry by visiting https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/.
- If you’ve received an I-94, its (Admission Control) number must be included with your badge application.
- Not every Canadian entering the U.S. receives an I-94.
Step 2: Apply for your badge in AirBadge.
- Select “Alien” (non-U.S. citizen) as your citizenship type.
- Select “Unexpired Foreign Passport”.
- Additional Documents:
- If you found your I-94 number, select “I-94 Admission Control Number (preferred)”.
- If you confirmed you do not have an I-94, select “Any document with your Alien Registration #”.
- Follow the prompts, supplying your Canadian passport image and information when requested.
- If prompted, enter your I-94 number.
- If prompted, enter an Alien Registration #. If you are unsure about this number, ask your badge office or signatory for the number you should enter in this field.
- Continue the application process, through signing.
