7 Procedure for Obtaining ASPA Credentials Effective April 1, 2008, ASPA will no longer issue new ASPA IDs or renew existing IDs unless the applicant has received, or has applied for, a Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC). The TWIC enrollment center is located on the first floor of the International Trade Center at 250 North Water Street. Applicants for ASPA credentials must either have a TWIC in their possession, or have the receipt which is printed after the enrollment process has been completed and required federal fees have been paid, in order to apply for an ASPA credential. The compliance date for TWIC was set by Congress as September 25, 2008, but each local Coast Guard Captain of the Port will set the implementation date for his Sector based on enrollment progress, and it may occur earlier than the congressionally mandated date. Until the TWIC is mandated by the USCG Captain of the Port, we will continue to require ASPA credentials. We currently plan to discontinue using ASPA credentials once the TWIC is required by the Captain of the Port. To request ASPA credentials to access Port Authority facilities, the following information must be submitted on a company letterhead: 1) The purpose for entering the port and the locations for which access is requested, 2) The name, social security number, date of birth, driver s license number and race of all employees applying for credentials. Fax this information to ASPA CREDENTIALS REQUEST at (251) Security awareness training is required for all persons requesting access to Alabama State Port Authority facilities. Classes are held at 9:00 a.m. each Monday at the International Trade Center, 250 North Water Street in the main dining room of the restaurant on the fourth floor. Reservations are required. You will be responsible for contacting Megan Clark via at mclark@asdd.com or via phone at (251) for reservations. Please note this is a two step process. You must fax the required information to ASPA Credentials Request AND make a reservation for the class. The cost of the ASPA ID badge, background check and security class is $60.00 ($35.00 after April 1, 2008). All fees must be paid at the Credentials Office before your credential will be issued. Vehicle decals are $25.00 and may also be purchased at the Credentials Office. Payment may only be made by money order, cashier s check or credit card (MasterCard or Visa). If you need additional information, please contact the Port Authority Police Department s Credentials Office at (251) Persons who apply for and are granted credentials Tuesday through Friday of each week will receive a TEMPORARY credential upon successful completion of the required background check. The temporary credential will be valid for NO MORE THAN ONE WEEK and only one temporary credential will be issued per person. Spanish language classes are held upon request normally at 10:30 a.m. on Monday in the Port Police building at the ASPA Main Docks. Applicants must confirm their immigration status at the Port Police Credentials Office and register for the class as described above before 4:00 PM on the Thursday preceding the class. REVISED:
