The City of McKinney has announced a change in how residents and applicants access the badging office. Effective immediately, the facility is no longer accepting walk-in visitors. All interactions with the badging office must now be scheduled by appointment only.

This policy shift applies to all individuals seeking assistance with badging processes. The city directs those who need to initiate a new badge application or require support with existing credentials to consult the official instructions available on the Access Cards & Airport Badges page of the municipal website.

The announcement emphasizes that this change is permanent moving forward. Residents are advised to review the provided guidelines prior to contacting the office to ensure they understand the necessary steps for scheduling an appointment.

The city thanked the public for their patience and understanding regarding this administrative adjustment. No specific date was given for when the new system began, but the notice indicates it is currently in effect.

Individuals who previously relied on walk-in services should plan accordingly to avoid being turned away at the door. The shift to an appointment-only model suggests a restructuring of office hours or staffing resources, though specific details regarding operating hours or appointment duration were not included in the official release.

For further information on access cards and airport badges, residents are encouraged to visit the designated section of the City of McKinney website. The city continues to manage these credentials through its standard government web portal.
