AIC Processes

The AIC process changes were brought in to DUB in April 2024. As we are 6 months into our new process, we want to make sure that you have all the information you need in relation to the AIC process.

The SSC Authorised Signatory team is our point of contact for new applications, renewals, access upgrades, driving permissions, and lost permits. There are multiple processes depending on your personal circumstances and your AIC requirements.  

What is the lead time for badge renewal? 

Our current lead time is up to 4+ weeks. Badge renewal is your responsibility, and it is up to you to make sure your application is submitted with enough time to avoid delays in processing. You need an AIC badge to attend work. If you have any issues, please escalate them with your manager and contact authorisedsignatory@daa.ie.

Frequently asked questions:

New regulatory legislation was implemented in 2023 by the IAA in relation to the AIC process, the ID Centre, Authorised Signatory and CPO. 
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.
Additional resources have been assigned to the authorised signatory team.
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. 

If you are having issues with your application, please reach out to your manager and authorisedsignatory@daa.ie for support. 

Thank you to our SSC Authorised Signatory team, it has been a huge undertaking from the team to deliver on this new regulation and every effort they are making is important for us all.
