Many of the more than 2 million Transportation Worker Identification Credential card holders will see their credentials expire in 2016 if they’re not renewed.
To save time, the Transportation Security Administration suggests TWIC card applicants and renewal candidates make an appointment at their nearest enrollment center. Applicants are expected to wait between 30 and 45 minutes at enrollment centers if they don’t have an appointment.
Doug Morris, OOIDA’s director of safety and security operations, cautioned TWIC card holders against allowing their cards to expire.
“If it expires, it’s no good,” Morris said. “They don’t accept it as a form of identification even at the enrollment center.”
