ID Badge Procedure

Badge Possession

New Employees

  • Identification (ID) badges are automatically issued by Human Resources to all new employees of the Unified Personnel System and other County agencies housed in County owned or operated facilities.
  • New employees are photographed during their onboarding appointment or they provide a photograph to Human Resources (see Badge Photo Requirements).
  • HR staff will send the badge to the employee’s supervisor so they will have their ID before their first day on the job.

Badge Replacement

  • Request a new ID badge using the Badge Request Form if your badge is lost, damaged or stolen, or you have a name change.
  • The form offers you two delivery method options:
    • Pick up at the Annex Building (please wait for an email notification that the badge is ready)
    • Mail the badge
  • Normally it takes up to 24 hours for a new badge to be printed.
  • IMPORTANT: The new badge will not provide building access right away. Your supervisor will contact Facility Operations at (727) 464-3550 or by email at FacOps@pinellas.gov to request access for the newly created badge.

Building Access

  • ID badges serve as building access cards for many work locations.
  • Human Resources notifies Real Estate Management that a new badge has been issued and needs to be coded for building access.
  • If your ID badge is not providing access to the correct building, notify your supervisor to contact Facility Operations at (727) 464-3550 or by email at FacOps@pinellas.gov.

Wellness Center

Change of Department (Promotion, Transfer, Demotion)

  • Request a new ID badge using the Badge Request Form.
  • Give your old ID badge to your new supervisor who sends it to Human Resources (HRIS, Annex) by interoffice mail.
  • A new photo is not necessary unless the current photo is more than 5 years old.

Updated Photo

  • Employees or retirees who need an updated ID badge photo have two options:
  • Your ID badge photo will only be updated every 5 years or as special needs require, per Unified Personnel Board Policy #1.

Resignation and Termination

  • Employees who leave County employment must turn over their ID badge to their supervisor who will send it to Human Resources (HRIS, Annex) by interoffice mail for destruction.

Retirees

  • Pinellas County retirees may request an ID badge for Wellness Center use or local discounts using the Badge Request Form.
