I'm applying for an initial TWIC card. I'm employed at current job but need the card for new job which starts in a few weeks. I gave my current employer on the TWIC application. By the time TWIC shows up in mail I should be working at new job. Does TWIC care about job changes? Do I need to update anything after job change?
If you can afford it, if/when you get HazMat go ahead and get TWIC. Some jobs require it, some don't.
Thanks

I got notice 2 days after I submitted fingerprints and paid my fee the TWIC card is being mailed. Expected in 5-15 days. Maybe already having HazMat sped things up, I don't know.
My only worry now is I took the opportunity to apply for a Passport. I didn't know until I submitted my paperwork they are going to keep my original birth certificate. It will me mailed back with my passport. They left me with a copy. I'm glad I paid for expedited processing. I hope my new employer doesn't ask for my birth certificate or will accept my copy with my passport paperwork, or will accept the BC when it comes back in a couple of weeks. It did not make me feel good to hear the govt employee laughing about how screwed I would be if the govt loses my original form.slim shady Thanks this. -

It is a real leap of faith to turn over your original birth certificate to the Feds. I did the same years ago, but no problems. Having a passport is very handy. You never know when you are going to have to flew the coop...
