FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
(FAQS)
What is an Authorizing Agent?
- Authorizing Agents are designated for each company participating
in the Airport Security Program. The Senior Company Manager
for each company will designate an Authorizing Agent that will
become the key player(s) involved with Airport Security issues.
These responsibilities include overseeing the background check
processes, signing applications and forms, requesting badges to
be cancelled, adding or deleting access from job titles, signing
vehicle permit applications, as well as training company
employees to be compliant with Rules and Regulations Governing
the Denver Municipal Airport System.
How do I become an Authorizing Agent?
- To be “Active” as an Authorizing Agent, you must first have an
“Active” Airport ID Badge, attend the Authorizing Agent Class and
submit an “Authorizing Agent Designation Form” to the Airport
Security Office. Authorizing Agents are required to attend
recurrent training every year. To be scheduled for an Authorizing
Agent Class, please call (303) 342-4307.
How many Authorizing Agents can my company have?
- Vendors, Contractors, and Tenants may have 3 Authorizing
agents. Air Carriers are allowed 5 Authorizing Agents per
Department. If you are adding someone, be sure to check how
many Authorizing Agents your company has. You may need to
delete a current Authorizing Agent to add a new one.
If I’m an Authorizing Agent, can I sign my own badge application?
- If you are the only Authorizing Agent on record, you may sign
your own application. If you have more than one designated
Authorizing Agent you cannot sign your own form.

UNBADGED INDIVIDUALS NEEDING ACCESS TO
DENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
The City and County of Denver (CCD) is the “Airport Operator” of Denver
International Airport (DIA) and is regulated under Part 1542 of the Code
of Federal Regulations. Under Transportation Security Administration
(TSA) regulations and CCD rules, individuals “regularly” working at DIA in
any capacity must obtain an Airport ID badge. Airport Security has
limited the amount of times an individual can obtain access into the
Restricted & Sterile Areas to ensure that companies/individuals are not
circumventing the Airport Security Program (ASP). Companies and/or
individuals who have a “demonstrated need” to access areas at DIA to
conduct official airport business for a “limited” time may utilize one of the
following procedures:
RESTRICTED AREA ACCESS:
Unbadged individuals may be escorted into the Restricted Area through
a City & County of Denver controlled Guard Gate (Gates 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 & 9)
following established DIA escorting protocols. Unbadged individuals are
limited to being escorted three (3) times and will be denied escorted
access into the Restricted Area once that number is exceeded. Any
exception to this policy requires approval from the Airport Security
Coordinator (ASC).
[6]
STERILE AREA ACCESS:
The Pink Concourse Visitor Badge Program is approved by the TSA, and is
primarily used by DIA to allow new employees of the airport to gain
access to the Main Airport Security Office located on the A-Concourse for
fingerprinting and Airport ID badging appointments. Since this office is
located in the Sterile Area, access is obtained through one of the three
TSA Security Screening Checkpoints. Once the individual successfully
completes the screening process at the TSA Security Screening
Checkpoint, they do not need to be escorted while in the Sterile Area.
Companies/departments requesting access to the Sterile Area by any
other type of unbadged individual must submit a request and be preapproved by the Airport Security Coordinator (ASC).
Unbadged
individuals must be conducting “official airport business,” are limited to
the issuance of three (3) Pink Concourse Visitor badges and will be
denied access into the Sterile Area once that number is reached. Any
exception to this policy requires approval from the Airport Security
Coordinator (ASC).
Pink Concourse Visitor badges are only issued at the Airport Office
Building (AOB) Reception Area which is adjacent to the A-Bridge TSA
Security Screening Checkpoint. The AOB Reception Area is open 6:00 am
to 6:00 pm Monday through Friday (except holidays) and special
arrangements must be pre-coordinated with the ASC to have a Pink
Concourse Visitor badge issued during off-hours or on weekends.
NOTE: Air Carriers who are defined by the TSA as “Aircraft Operators” are
regulated under Part 1544 of the Code of Federal Regulations and will
issue their own “demonstrated needs pass” based on their company
policies to unbadged individuals requiring access to the Sterile Area.
AOB & AOB LOADING DOCK ACCESS:
The Gray AOB/DOCK Visitor Badge is issued to unbadged individuals who
have a demonstrated need to access the AOB or the AOB Loading Dock.
Unbadged individuals are not limited to the number of times this badge
can be issued but must be escorted following established DIA escorting
protocols. Access to the Sterile Area or Restricted Area is prohibited.
Gray AOB/DOCK Visitor badges are only issued at the AOB and Guard
Gate 1.

FAQS
WHY IS AN UNBADGED INDIVIDUAL ONLY ALLOWED THREE VISITS?
— Airport Security has the regulatory enforcement responsibility for
ensuring that DIA remains in compliance with all TSA Regulations
and Security Directives as well as with the Airport Security Program.
Individuals who “regularly” (in excess of 3 visits) access areas at
DIA to perform work are deemed to be working at DIA and are
required to complete the necessary background checks to be issued
an Airport ID badge.
MY COMPANY DOES BUSINESS WITH A VENDOR THAT CHECKS OUR FIRE
EXTINGUISHERS EVERY OTHER MONTH. WHY CAN’T I JUST ESCORT
THEM?
— All Vendors and Contractors performing “regular” services at DIA are
required to be active participants in the Airport Security Program.
Established companies/departments with “standing” at DIA must
submit a Participant Sponsorship Form to Airport Security indicating
that they officially recognize the business relationship they have
with any new company. Vendors and Contractors may be
“sponsored” by multiple companies @ DIA. To become an active
Participant please contact Airport Security at 303-342-4307 or 303342-4313 for your company specifics.
MY NEW EMPLOYEE IS IN THE PROCESS OF OBTAINING AN AIRPORT ID
BADGE. CAN I ESCORT HER WHILE HER APPLICATION IS BEING
PROCESSED?
— Once an employee submits their badge application to Airport
Security with the intent to obtain an Airport ID badge, they are
considered to be “in process.” Until their Criminal History Records
Check (CHRC) or State Background Check plus their Security Threat
Assessment (STA) have “cleared,” they may not be escorted into the
Restricted or Sterile Areas in accordance with TSA Security Rules
and Regulations.
[8]
HOW DO I ESCORT A VISITOR THROUGH A GUARD GATE?
— An unbadged individual being escorted into the Restricted Area must
have a demonstrated need, be escorted by an active DIA Airport ID
badgeholder with access to the guard gate they are using, and must
have a government issued photo ID in their possession. The
security guard at the gate will enter the unbadged individual’s full
legal name, date of birth, and government issued ID number into
the DIA Escort database program along with information about the
employee providing the escort.
MY EMPLOYEE FORGOT HIS BADGE AT HOME. CAN I GET A PINK
CONCOURSE VISITOR BADGE FOR HIM SO HE CAN WORK HIS SHIFT ON
THE C-CONCOURSE?
— Employees who have an active Airport ID badge can not be issued a
Pink Concourse Visitor Badge for access to the Sterile Area, instead
the employee must go home and get their Airport ID Badge per TSA
and Denver Municipal Airport System Rules and Regulations.
Additionally, an employee who forgot their badge may not be
escorted through a guard gate into the Restricted Area.
