VIRGINIA PORT AUTHORITY CREDENTIALING REQUIREMENTS
Please read all procedures

The Virginia Port Authority will not accept old Port Identification Card Request Forms. Links to the current forms are located here:

A Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) is now required for individuals requiring unescorted access to the state-owned marine terminals.  The VPA does not issue the Transportation Worker Identification Credential.

For more information on how to obtain a TWIC card, visit the TWIC Website at: www.tsa.gov/twic.

A VPA Port ID will also be required for individuals that conduct business for five or more calendar days a year at the state-owned marine terminals.
