ASIC Applications
Queensland Airports Limited (QAL) is an authorised ASIC issuing body, with a dedicated office on the Gold Coast to support airport workers and contractors with the application process for an Airport Security Identification Card (ASIC). Our office allows applicants to submit, manage and receive ASICs efficiently, ensuring they have the identification required to work safely and securely in airside and sterile areas of our airports. Each of our ports act as an ASIC agent, providing local assistance with the application and collection process.
Information for New ASIC Applicants
You need an ASIC if you require frequent, unescorted access to secure areas of an airport to do your job. An ASIC is also required for some security-sensitive roles, such as:
- Involved in the operation of an airport or an aircraft
- A baggage handler
- An airport security guard
- A passenger screening officer
- An eligible Australian Border Force officer
- Performing a verifier role
- Working in a specific security sensitive role such as known consignor, regulated air cargo agents, accredited air cargo agents, or visitor identification card issuer
An ASIC is valid for 2 years.

Visitor Passes
If you need temporary access to secure areas of a QAL Airport and don’t hold a valid Aviation Security Identification Card (ASIC), you can apply for a Visitor Identification Card (VIC).
- A VIC can only be issued if you haven’t been refused an ASIC and your current one isn’t suspended or cancelled.
- VICs are limited to 28 days in a 12-month period (unless you’ve lodged an ASIC application and provide proof of lodgement).
- A standard Visitor Pass is valid for up to 3 days, expiring at midnight on the final day of issue.
- You must carry valid photo ID at all times while holding a Visitor Pass.
