# Assign a permanent badge to a worker

> Print and register a permanent badge for a worker from their profile

Permanent badges are printed on-site and registered to a worker's profile. The badge number links the physical card to the worker in Odin.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add a badge">
    Click **+ Add New Badge** from the worker's **Profile > Badges** tab, then select **Print and register a permanent badge**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review worker details and select a template">
    Verify or update the worker's photo, trade, and job title. Select a **badge template** to determine the appearance of the badge, and choose which **printer** to send the print job to.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Print the badge">
    Click **Print Badge** to send the badge to the selected printer. If the print fails, retry the job, choosing a different printer if your jobsite has more than one, or [troubleshoot your badge printer](/hardware/troubleshooting-badge-printer).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Register the badge">
    Depending on the card format, you may be prompted to register a badge number. Enter the number found on the back of the card, or scan it if your card supports automatic input. This number links the physical card to the worker's profile.
