5-Year Background Check – Dublin Airport Requirement

Why is a 5-year background check required?

Dublin Airport Authority requires staff working airside or in secure areas to successfully complete security clearance in line with aviation regulations.

What period does the background check cover?

The background check covers the previous 5 years (2021–2026).

What documents do I need to provide?

Candidates must be able to provide written evidence covering the full 5-year period. This may include:

• Employment reference letters or contracts
• Payslips or employment statements
• College or university enrolment letters
• Social welfare or other official government documentation

What if I was unemployed during part of this period?

This is acceptable. Candidates will need to provide appropriate documentation or written confirmation showing their activity during that period.

No. Employment at Dublin Airport is conditional upon the successful completion of the required security clearance.

Who supports the background check process?

KSG Catering Services will guide successful candidates through the clearance application process.

Our aim is to offer you a career, not just a job. We look forward to hearing from you!
