The Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) is a tamper-proof biometric card issued by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to individuals who require unescorted access to secure areas of maritime facilities and vessels regulated by the Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA). To obtain a TWIC card, you must meet certain eligibility requirements, complete an application, and provide supporting documentation.
The TWIC card is important for individuals who work in the maritime industry because it allows them to access secure areas of maritime facilities and vessels without having to be escorted. This can save time and increase productivity. Additionally, the TWIC card is a federally recognized credential that can be used to verify an individual’s identity and employment eligibility.
