Once the Authorized Signatory has submitted the electronic application via SAFE, the employee is required to make an appointment on Access DFW website for fingerprints. Two forms of ID are always required when visiting Access DFW for fingerprints and badges. IDs must be unexpired, readable and in good condition.
Once the employee visits Access DFW, Trusted Agents proceed with fingerprints, and the employee’s background check is submitted for processing. Employees will not be allowed to complete trainings or receive the DFW Airport ID Badge on this visit. After the background check clears (this may take several days), the employee will receive an email with instructions to complete the security trainings virtual. After all trainings are completed, the employee can make another appointment to pick up the Airport ID badge; two forms of ID are also required when picking up the badge.
Appointments are recommended, but not mandatory as walk ins are also accepted.
