Why did the process change?

New regulatory legislation was implemented in 2023 by the IAA in relation to the AIC process, the ID Centre, Authorised Signatory and CPO.

Why is the lead time several weeks?

The new regulations require the process to include a number of checks which take time to complete. Part of this process is outside of Dublin Airport’s control as checks are completed by state bodies.

What is DUB doing to make the process more efficient?

Additional resources have been assigned to the authorised signatory team.

How can I get my badge on time?

Ensure you act on the 90-day renewal emails sent to your email address as well as prompts at employee entry points. When you are aware your AIC is expiring in 90 days, contact authorisedsigntory@daa.ie and ask for an AIC renewal.
