Trucking companies, drivers, mariners, port workers and other personnel now have seven months to obtain their Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC). The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has set a new compliance deadline of April 15, 2009, rather than September 25, 2008.
Although the compliance date has been extended seven months, workers are encouraged to enroll as soon as possible. Workers can pre-enroll online at www.tsa.gov/twic . Pre-enrollment can accelerate credentialing by allowing workers to provide biographic information and schedule a time to complete the application process in person. This eliminates delays at enrollment centers and reduces total enrollment time for each worker.
Additional information can be found on the U.S. Coast Guard's Homeport site, http://homeport.uscg.mil/ .
