A wallet badge holder is provided herein including: a first rigid plate having a recess formed therein shaped to accommodate a badge; a second rigid plate elastically displaceable relative to the first rigid plate to define a reversibly expandable and compressible chamber for receiving identification cards and credit cards; and, a cover removably mountable to the first rigid plate to selectively cover the recess. Advantageously, the subject invention provides for a compact and durable wallet badge holder.
