Applying for a pass

Applying for a pass

The ID Centre has implemented a new online system for making all types of ID Pass applications. You can access the new system using the link below:

https://idgateway.co.uk/site/login

The new system allows you to complete the application forms online, and upload all necessary documentation to enable an ID pass to be issued.

Becoming a sponsor

If your organisation is not yet a sponsor, you must contact the ID Centre to request to be invited onto the ID Scheme. You can send us an email at idcentre@edinburghairport.com

NB: The main contact person applying on behalf of an organisation to become a Sponsor MUST be the first applicant to become an authorised signatory. This will mean completing a full application and referencing.

Training will be provided to all new Authorised Signatories on how to use the system to make applications.

Reference Template letters

If you wish to vary the content, please ensure that you do not amend the questions the template letters pose to each recipient - these are set out in the direction that we have to ask you to follow. Please feel free to change certain issues of style or tone and remember that you should use your organisation's letterhead when preparing the letters. All the templates are in Microsoft Word format so they can easily be edited.
