About Airport Badges
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires that Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport (GPT) issue badges to all individuals requiring access to restricted Airport property and facilities.
Apply For and Manage Your Badge with AirBadge
GPT uses AirBadge, a compliance automation software, to complete the process of issuing badges. All “New” badge applications and “Renewal” badge applications are now managed and tracked through AirBadge. The system allows for the majority of our badging process, including the application, appointment making, and training, to be done offsite. Applicants will be required to make appointments in AirBadge for in-person fingerprinting and badge pick-up.
Badge Holders use AirBadge to:
- Apply for a new badge
- Renew your badge and update your information
- Complete badge training
- Check status on your application
- Notify the airport of changes to your badge status
Signatories use AirBadge to:
- Invite new hires to apply for a badge
- Authorize or prevent renewals
- Manage badges under your authorization
- Respond to TSA-ordered badge audits
