What type of ID may be issued temporarily at airports?

Temp badges are typically issued temporarily at airports to grant individuals access to certain secure areas. These badges serve as a means of identification for people who may not have the usual permanent identification, such as employees or contractors who need temporary access to airport facilities for specific tasks or events. Temporary badges are designed to ensure that security measures are maintained while allowing necessary access to authorized personnel.

The other types of IDs mentioned do not serve the same purpose in the airport context. Guest passes typically refer to temporary access given to visitors in different environments, rather than to secure airport areas specifically. VIP credentials can denote elevated status but are generally not issued in the same temporary manner for general access. Frequent flyer cards are rewards issued to travelers who often fly with a particular airline, offering benefits but not serving as a badge for physical access in airport operations.
