What is an Identity Check (ID check)?
According to the LBA, security officers should now check the identity of participants in aviation security training courses once a day - regardless of whether the identity check is carried out online using a camera or on site at the company premises. Programme operators, i.e. the training providers of online aviation security training courses (WBT/CBT) themselves, are also required to check the identity of each training participant once a day when using camera-based online procedures.
The LBA also specifies the following with regard to documentation: ‘The person carrying out the training must document the identity check. The documentation of the identity check must be kept for at least the duration of the validity of the computerised aviation security training (usually five years) and must be presented upon request by the authorities.’ The identity check ensures that a person is who they say they are.
