TWIC Program
The Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) program is a Transportation Security Administration and U.S. Coast Guard initiative. The TWIC program provides a tamper-resistant biometric credential to maritime workers requiring unescorted access to secure areas of port facilities.
The TWIC is a requirement for all persons who require unescorted access to the Port of Corpus Christi’s secure and restricted areas.
As part of the required enrollment process, all applicants must provide biographical information, fingerprints and have a photo taken. The TWIC applicant will then be notified by email or phone if they have met the qualifications to receive a card. If so, they must then go to the Indentogo office located at 1620 S.P.I.D., Ste. 175 to pick up the TWIC card. A biometric verification is made at that time. After the applicant selects a PIN, the credential is activated and is valid for 5 years.
All persons needing to obtain a TWIC are highly encouraged to pre-enroll through the TWIC website.
