Authorized Representatives shall submit all requests for a Badge using the ID Badge/Building Access Application form. This application must also be used to request access to building entries during non-public times (See State-Owned Building Hours of Operation) or secured interior doors within State buildings.

Please contact an Authorized Representative for your Department with your badge questions. If you are an Authorized Representative, please contact the appropriate Badge Office Processing Location.

Refer to State ID Photo Basics and Requirements.
