How should the Restricted Area Identification Card (RAIC) be worn?

The Restricted Area Identification Card (RAIC) must be worn visibly on outer clothing to ensure that individuals with appropriate clearance can be easily identified in restricted areas. This visibility is crucial for security reasons, allowing personnel to quickly ascertain whether an individual has the right to be in designated areas, thereby maintaining safety and security protocols at the airport.

Wearing the RAIC in a manner that keeps it concealed, such as in a pocket or on the wrist, would defeat its purpose, as it would not provide the necessary visual identification to security personnel and other authorized staff. While wearing it on a neck lanyard might also ensure visibility, the critical requirement is that the card is worn on the outer clothing, which encompasses various forms of display such as clip-on badges, lanyards, or badge holders that are prominently displayed for all to see.
