security badge

Identification for entry

A security badge is an identification card worn visibly to show authorization to enter a restricted area.

Typically worn on a lanyard or clipped to clothing, it often includes a photo, name, and employer logo.

Many security badges contain embedded chips or magnetic strips that grant access when scanned: She swiped her security badge at the door.
