Unlike “whiteout” on paper documents, documents in AirBadge cannot be altered after they have been signed. For any changes in a signed document, particularly for name changes, you must start the badge application process again. Our team estimates that a badge application in AirBadge takes approximately 7 minutes. This time investment is crucial for maintaining the integrity and accuracy of your airport’s records.

Changing a name in official documents involves several critical steps:

      • Replacing the individual’s legal name.
      • Adding the old name as an alias.
      • Updating all identification documents to reflect the new name.
      • Transmitting all updated information and documents to TSC so TSA can revalidate the Security Threat Assessment.

For any changes in a signed document, particularly for name changes, you must start the application process again. This method upholds legal standards and ensures that all records in AirBadge are accurate and comply with TSA requirements.
