Satellite Badging Office Relocation Notice:
On Monday, April 13, 2026, the Satellite Badging Office (SBO) relocated to the west side of the DHL Building at:
26200 E. 75th Ave., Denver, CO 80249-just down the street (west) from the current location.
Appointment-Only Model
- Airport Security appreciates our partners’ continued support of the appointment-only model implemented in February. This system has provided more consistent service, with employees experiencing an average wait time of approximately three minutes at the SBO.
- The appointment-only model will continue at the new location. Employees should complete their training online and remotely before their appointment for their visit.
- Same-day appointments will be available only for emergency needs such as damaged or lost badges.
Online Testing
- We are seeing an increase in online testing for both new and renewal employees.
- Online testing is strongly encouraged, as testing stations are limited at both offices and are available by appointment only at the SBO.
- Employees receive step-by-step instructions via email once they clear their background check (new employees) or when a renewal application is submitted (current employees).
We will share another update prior to the move with additional details, including employee notifications, website updates, parking information at the new location, and directional signage.
Thank you for your continued support and for helping make the Badging Office process efficient. Please email [email protected] if you have any questions.
New Employee Badging Process
Your DEN employee badge is a TSA required identification credential that carries personal responsibility and is used to access your work area at DEN. Below are resources to obtain a badge.
When visiting the Badging Office, individuals must present 2 (two) forms of identification from Form I-9 Acceptable Documents. One document must show your identity, and another document must provide your authorization to work in the United States, none of which can be digital or photocopies.
Names on the documents must match the name on the fingerprinting and badging application. If names do not match, all legal documents containing name changes are required.
Names on the documents must match the name on the fingerprinting and badging application. If names do not match, all legal documents containing name changes are required.
Step 1: Fingerprinting
- Your company Authorized Signatory must submit a new badge request electronically via the authorized signatory portal.
- Your Authorized Signatory will review your Acceptable Form I-9 Documents you plan to present to the Airport Security Office at your Fingerprinting Appointment.
- After your company has created your new badge request, you may schedule an appointment for Fingerprinting.
- You must bring 2 documents from the Acceptable Form I-9 Documents list, one providing identity and one providing work authorization, none of which can be digital or photocopies.
- You will not test or receive your Airport ID Badge at your Fingerprinting Appointment.
- You should plan at least one hour for this appointment.
Step 2: Training and Testing
- After your background checks are completed, your company Authorized Signatory will notify you, usually within a week, but may be longer.
- Once notified, you may schedule an appointment for training and testing.
- You must bring 2 documents from the Acceptable Form I-9 Documents list, one providing identity and one providing work authorization, none of which can be digital or photocopies.
New employees who have authorized access to the Sterile Area may schedule an appointment at the Main Badging Office (i.e., airline gate pass, flying into DEN (day of) for new hire processing, etc.). Airport Security will not initiate, nor provide, temporary access through a security checkpoint for any badging needs.
