The Approved Driver may escort Non-ZUB pass holders who have a valid ticket for air travel and an in-date passport into MPC and directly to the terminal enclave. All Approved Drivers are required to also hold a Contractor ZUB pass. The purpose of the Approved Driver Scheme is to address British Forces South Atlantic Islands (BFSAI) concerns in respect of control of access to MPC by civilian air passengers. Approved Driver application forms are available below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ADS Contact: <a href=\"mailto:security.manager@fic.co.fk\">security.manager@fic.co.fk<\/a> \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:1vh\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-2b303fd1-829d-4b1f-ade6-772223e56eac\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.fk\/safetyandsecurity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/12\/Approved-Driver-flow-chart.xlsx\">Application Process<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.fk\/safetyandsecurity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/12\/Approved-Driver-flow-chart.xlsx\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-2b303fd1-829d-4b1f-ade6-772223e56eac\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-61301861-e4b9-473b-abbe-8da4644afc84\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.fk\/safetyandsecurity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/12\/Form-1-Approved-Driver-Company-Sponsor.docx\">Form 1 &#8211; Approved Driver Company Sponsor<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.fk\/safetyandsecurity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/12\/Form-1-Approved-Driver-Company-Sponsor.docx\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-61301861-e4b9-473b-abbe-8da4644afc84\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-5fdc0e5e-1b87-4081-a3fc-d607185d3931\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.fk\/safetyandsecurity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/12\/Form-2-Approved-Driver-Employee.docx\">Form 2 &#8211; Approved Driver Employee<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.fk\/safetyandsecurity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/12\/Form-2-Approved-Driver-Employee.docx\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-5fdc0e5e-1b87-4081-a3fc-d607185d3931\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e8c14bc9-56d9-40a4-9822-0038ff853f75\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.fk\/safetyandsecurity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/12\/Form-3-Approved-Driver-Self-Sponsored.docx\">Form 3 &#8211; Approved Driver Self Sponsored<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.fk\/safetyandsecurity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/12\/Form-3-Approved-Driver-Self-Sponsored.docx\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e8c14bc9-56d9-40a4-9822-0038ff853f75\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e7106ee6-ffbd-45ff-a2a9-cc44dccc3dd0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.fk\/safetyandsecurity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/12\/Passes-and-Permits-required.xlsx\">Passes and Permits required<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.fk\/safetyandsecurity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/12\/Passes-and-Permits-required.xlsx\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e7106ee6-ffbd-45ff-a2a9-cc44dccc3dd0\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-da785e06-1f0b-468b-b327-c4b4aa64f859\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.fk\/safetyandsecurity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/12\/Terminal-Access-Contact-Details.docx\">Terminal Access Contact Details<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.fk\/safetyandsecurity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2025\/12\/Terminal-Access-Contact-Details.docx\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-da785e06-1f0b-468b-b327-c4b4aa64f859\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:4vh\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:#f9fafb;padding-top:10vh;padding-bottom:10vh\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For more information, please contact <br>the Public Safety &amp; Island Security<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll find our office hours, location, and full contact details below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.fk\/safetyandsecurity\/contact-us\/\">Contact us<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Approved Driver is an individual who is employed as a driver either on a seasonal, part-time, full-time basis.
