Once you have completed the process, schedule your appointment here.  You can present your QR code at the gate and the list of names will be sent to Security to ensure gate access for those who don’t have the QR code.  If you are renewing your badge, you will need to return your old badge at your appointment.  Please bring the appropriate documents to your appointment.  You will receive an email with your badge appointment instructions the business day prior to your appointment, as well as an automated reminder around midnight the night before your appointment.
