Badge Holder Responsibilities
(for holders of a DOE Standard Badge)

  • Only one DOE standard badge may be held by any person (i.e., no person may simultaneously hold a standard badge from two or more DOE facilities, sites, agencies, etc.
  • Always bring your badge to work - Keep temporary badge issuance to a minimum.
  • Badge must be worn at all times while on Laboratory property
    NOTE: Laboratory property for this purpose means all grounds and buildings within the Laboratory's geographic perimeter and all offices outside the perimeter (e.g., office buildings in the town of Los Alamos that are rented by the Laboratory)
  • Badge must be positioned on the badge holders body:
    • Photo side outwards
    • Above the waist
    • On the front side of the body
      Safety concerns should always be considered in how the above conditions are met. For additional detail on the display of security badges, consult DOE/OLASO's policy guidance.
  • Present clearance badge per Protective Force requirements upon entering and leaving a security area through a non-automated (staffed) security post
  • Do not leave badge unattended and in view, when on Laboratory property (including private offices) - lock it up
  • Remove badge when leaving Laboratory property
  • Do not use badge for identification for unofficial purposes, e.g., cashing checks
  • Maintain badge in good condition
    • Replace badge if it becomes worn, faded, damaged (the Laboratory's Protective Force is trained to reject badges in poor condition)
    • The Protective Force will "punch" badges deemed unacceptable for access into security areas
    • The Protective Force will confiscate a badge if it appears it has been intentionally altered or tampered with
  • Protect badge from loss, theft, misuse
  • Obtain a new badge if:
    • Your name changes
    • There is a significant change in facial appearance
    • You change employers (Subcontractor to LANL or vice versa, change of subcontractor)
  • If badge has an expiration date obtain a new badge on or before that date
  • Security badges are the property of the U.S. Government and must be returned to the Badge Office when no longer needed or if expired
    • Every badge issued by the LANL Badge Office is accountable
    • Failure to account for a badge by returning it to the LANL Badge Office or reporting it lost/stolen (see above) will result in denial of future badging services
