  1. The staff member whose Smithsonian badge is expiring shall contact their SPONSOR to inform them of the expiration date.
  2. The SPONSOR of the staff member shall email the staff member’s full name to OPS-PSO@si.edu, with “COVID-19 Badge Renewal” in the subject line.
  3. Upon receipt of the email, the Personnel Security and ID Office staff shall extend expiration date of the badge to May 31, 2020.
  4. The Personnel Security and ID Office will respond back to the sponsor that the credential or badge has been extended till May 31, 2020.
