12's right too. You could argue that it should be 'present' (subjunctive) but that would be very very old-fashioned, so 'presents' is right.

As it is a grammar exercise, they expect a subjunctive (formal style) even if it may be unusual in conversations! I'd have expected a should-structure instead or better still an infinitive clause (for ... to ...).

In fact the only correct answer is "present". There is nothing old-fashioned about using the subjunctive after "It is important that...". The subjunctive, rather than the indicative, is required here because you are saying that the staff member should present his badge, not that he does present it.
"It is important that a staff member presents his badge" is also grammatically correct, but means "A staff member presents his badge, and that is important." And this is vague, because it's not clear whether every staff member presents his badge, or just some particular but non-specified staff member.
But this is a moot question since it is highly doubtful that either is the intended meaning of the sentence as given in the exercise.
As willy points out, the subjunctive can be avoided by using an infinitive clause ("It is important for a staff member to present his badge") but an indicative cannot be so rephrased. Hence if one could make this change (were it an option), he should use the subjunctive.
The only thing "formal" about using the subjunctive is that it is correct. Unfortunately, people's mastery of language has deteriorated to the point where actually using the correct mood and tense is seen as a formality.
