What You Should Know About This Form

What is the DFW ACO form and why do I need to fill it out?

The DFW ACO form is the DFW Airport Identification/Access Badge Application. It is a crucial document for anyone seeking to gain access to secured areas of DFW Airport. Completing this form is required for new badge applications, renewals, or replacements for lost or stolen badges. Providing accurate information ensures that the appropriate security checks can be conducted, which include background checks crucial for maintaining safety and security at the airport.

What information is required on the DFW ACO form?

The DFW ACO form requires a variety of personal information, including your full legal name, social security number, date of birth, mailing address, and contact numbers. Additionally, you must provide details about your employer, job title, and any other names you may have used previously. If you were born outside the United States, you will need to disclose your country of citizenship and residency information. Ensure that all sections are filled out completely and accurately to avoid delays in processing your application.

What happens if I do not disclose a disqualifying criminal offense?

It's essential to disclose any disqualifying criminal offenses as specified in the application. Failing to do so can lead to serious consequences, including denial of badging privileges, and may also result in legal repercussions. If it is discovered that a false statement was made or a disqualifying offense was not reported, you risk suspension or revocation of your access privileges to DFW Airport. This underscores the importance of being honest and forthcoming in your application.

What is the process after I submit the DFW ACO form?

Upon submission of the DFW ACO form, your application will undergo a thorough review. This includes a fingerprint-based criminal history record check and a security threat assessment. You will be required to complete additional training related to airport security before receiving your badge. Only after successfully passing these screenings and training will you be granted access to secure areas of the airport. It's crucial to adhere to the guidelines and deadlines provided after submission to ensure a smooth process.

How do I update my information if it changes after submitting the DFW ACO form?

If your information changes after you have submitted the DFW ACO form, such as a change in employment, address, or legal name, you must notify the Airport Security Coordinator as soon as possible. This is important for maintaining accurate records and ensuring that you remain compliant with security regulations. Failing to update your information could impact your access privileges at DFW Airport.

Common mistakes

Completing the DFW Airport Identification/Access Badge Application is essential for accessing secure areas of the airport. However, mistakes can happen that may delay the application process. Here are six common errors to avoid.

Firstly, applicants often neglect to provide their full legal names consistently throughout the form. It is crucial to include your last name, first name, and middle name at the top of every page. Incomplete or inconsistent naming can lead to processing issues, causing unnecessary delays.

Another frequent mistake involves the misuse of the Alias section. If you have previously used other names, it is vital to list them correctly. However, many individuals confuse nicknames with aliases. Remember, only legal names used in the past should be included.

Providing an incorrect or outdated mailing address is a common error that can prevent important communication from being received. Ensure that you enter your current mailing address, including the apartment or suite number if applicable. Double-check it for accuracy before submission.

Furthermore, applicants sometimes overlook the need to fill out the telephone contact information. A valid daytime phone number is required so the processing team can reach you if necessary. Providing multiple contact numbers may also be beneficial, allowing for better communication.

Another area where mistakes often occur is in the identification numbers section. Whether it’s your Social Security Number, driver’s license, or passport number, these must be accurate and up-to-date. A small error here can result in significant complications down the line.

Finally, failing to read and understand the privacy and security requirements can lead to unintentional mistakes. Applicants must be aware of the disqualifying criminal offenses and ensure they certify their conditions accurately. Misrepresenting oneself or neglecting to disclose relevant information may result in denial of the application.

By taking the time to carefully review each section and ensuring that all required information is accurate and complete, applicants can greatly reduce the risk of errors. This will facilitate a smoother and more efficient application process for anyone seeking a DFW Airport Identification/Access badge.

Documents used along the form

The DFW Airport Identification/Access Badge Application serves as a crucial step for anyone seeking access to secure areas within the airport. Alongside this form, several other documents are often required to ensure safety and compliance with federal regulations. Here's a closer look at these specific documents:

Proof of Citizenship: Documents such as a birth certificate, passport, or naturalization certificate may be required to establish citizenship status.
Government-Issued ID: A driver’s license or state identification card is typically needed to confirm the applicant's identity and residency.
Employer Verification Letter: This letter from an employer confirms the applicant's employment and is necessary for processing the badge application.
Criminal History Record Check (CHRC): This document verifies whether the applicant has any disqualifying criminal offenses as indicated by federal regulations.
Security Threat Assessment (STA): A record of the applicant's security threat assessment, used to evaluate their eligibility for unescorted access to secure areas.
Training Completion Certificate: A certificate confirming that the applicant has completed necessary training, such as DFW SIDA Training or Ramp Safety training.

Medical Clearance Documentation: Sometimes required for positions that involve physical demands or if there's a potential for exposure to hazardous materials.
Non-immigrant Visa documentation: For non-U.S. citizens, a valid visa may be required to prove their authorized presence in the country and eligibility for access.

Collecting these documents can help streamline the badge application process and ensure compliance with airport regulations. Each document serves a unique purpose, reinforcing security measures at DFW Airport while facilitating safe access for eligible personnel.

Misconceptions

Misconception 1: The DFW ACO form is only for new badge applicants.

This is incorrect. The form accommodates multiple scenarios including renewals and replacements for lost or stolen badges.

Misconception 2: Providing a nickname suffices instead of legal names.

This is false. The form requires the full legal name, and nicknames are not accepted.

Misconception 3: No need to disclose previous names if not frequently used.

While it may seem trivial, any previously used names must be disclosed, even if infrequently used.

Misconception 4: Only criminal records from within the last year matter.

This is misleading. The application looks at any disqualifying offenses in the individual's history, irrespective of when they occurred.

Misconception 5: All types of identification are acceptable for the application.

This is incorrect. Specific documents with the applicant’s name and address must accompany the application process.

Misconception 6: Passing the training courses on the first try guarantees badge issuance.

Submitting a successful application does not guarantee badge issuance, as other qualifications must be met.

Misconception 7: Sharing personal information, including the Social Security Number (SSN), is optional.

This is false. Providing an SSN is mandatory to complete the application process.

Misconception 8: Applicants can receive help during training assessments.

This is misleading. Applicants must complete training assessments independently with no outside assistance allowed.
