“With a large badge holder population, we have streamlined the TSA-required aviation worker background check process while upholding the high security and customer service standards at SEA.”

The DAC services adhere to requirements of TSA and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for managing personal information and biometrics.

The design supports the needs of every airport and air carrier and users can carry out different functions on one platform.

Lucini added: “Telos ID has become the recognised leader in assuring the identities of aviation workers with advanced biometric and enrollment solutions.

“We are pleased to support the Port of Seattle and its world-class airport (the region’s gateway to the globe) in their efforts to provide excellence in credentialing and vetting services, all while reducing costs and providing superior customer care and flexibility.”

Last year, Telos ID secured a contract from City and County of San Francisco to provide DAC services at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) in the US.
