The required documents / forms can be found here. 

(II) Issue:

After a positive background check and participation in the security training, the airport identification card can be collected upon presentation of the certificates.

Persons who have to enter or drive on the apron in order to perform their duties must first complete and provide proof of the corresponding training (see chapter Training).

Persons without a personal airport ID who only need to enter the security area of the airport occasionally for business or operational reasons may be granted accompanied access to the security area of the airport on the basis of the regulation on daily permits.

Requirements:

• Each person with a personal airport ID card may accompany up to five persons with a daily permit into the security area, for which they are authorized.
• Daily permits may only be requested by companies, authorities or bodies that are also active at Hanover Airport.

Expiry of and restrictions on daily permits:

The issue of daily permits is limited to a maximum of 12 days per calendar year due to legal regulations.

The following basic requirements must be complied with:

• Issue not more than seven days a month,
• Issue no more than five consecutive days.

Exceptions to this rule must be requested separately and justified in detail. FHG's Corporate Security Steering Committee checks the plausibility and coordinates with the aviation security authority responsible for a possible exemption.

If a valid background check is presented, a daily permit may be issued for a longer period of time.

Escort by security staff:

If it may be necessary for FHG security staff to escort you, they must be notified at least 24 hours in advance to the Corporate Security Center (personnel disposition).

Requests for background checks must be:

• completed legibly and in full,
• signed and stamped by the applicant, as well as their employer.
• submitted to the registration office.

Duration of initial request - request for background check - the check is carried out by the relevant aviation authority and usually takes four to six weeks.

Please notice that it is your sole responsibilitiy to request an extension for your badge.

Important:

• a new airport ID card must be requested at least three month before the old one expires,
• a new reliability check must be requested,
• Aviation Security Training is to be renewed.

Duration of follow-up request - in case of a valid background check certificate, the wait is likely to reduce. 

The expiry date of the airport ID card can be found on your airport ID card (VALID THROU/GÜLTIG BIS).

Permanent access to the security areas requires a valid background check according to §7 Aviation Security Act. The authority checks the applicant and, if applicable, confirms his/her reliability. Doubts may arise from past convictions or ongoing criminal proceedings, for example:

• Daily rates
• Enquiry by registration office

A positive background check is limited to five years. Flughafen Hannover - Langenhagen GmbH has no possibility to influence the decision on the reliability of the persons inspected by the aviation security authority.

An already existing background check of another federal state can be submitted and recognised when the application is submitted. Recognition requires the approval of the relevant aviation authority.

No airport identification card can be issued without a positive background check. If the reliability has been rejected by the relevant aviation authority, a new request can be made one year after the last verification result is announced at the earliest. The reasons for the negative decision will only be communicated to the applicant. If the applicant can prove that the reasons for the negative decision have in the meantime ceased to apply, a new examination may be requested at an earlier point in time.

Every holder of an airport ID card is obliged to return the card or have it changed at the registration offen immediately in the event of a change of company, termination of employment or change of name. Personal data, such as a change of address, must be reported immediately by the card holder directly to the aviation authority in charge. The identity card remains the property of Flughafen Hannover - Langenhagen GmbH. Please note that a late return or not returning the airport ID card will be subject to a fine of up to €10,000 according to the Aviation Security Act.

The loss of the badge must be reported immediately to the registration office or, outside business hours, to the Corporate Security Center on +49 (0)511 977-1222.
