NMCI USER AWARENESS BULLETIN

The Department of Defense is transitioning to one common authentication (logon) certificate on CACs called the “PIV Authentication” certificate. The PIV certificate is mandated as the new standard for all NMCI NIPR users. Users will no longer have to choose between ‘email’ and ‘identity’ certificates when logging into their workstations or any other NMCI NIPR services. CACs issued after August 1st, 2020 will only have the “PIV certificate” available for authentication to all NMCI NIPR systems and services. CACs MUST transition their account to use the new PIV certificate PRIOR to issuance of new CACs. For more information see this NMCI User Awareness Bulletin.

FOREIGN AFFILIATES

Effective September 2022, RAPIDS will require eligible Foreign Affiliates to be processed and verified via the Trusted Associate Sponsorship System (TASS) in order to get a CAC. Foreign Affiliates arriving at a RAPIDS office for initial issuance of a CAC must present a DD Form 1172-2 with the “DOD Sponsored in US” condition annotated in remarks block 21 along with all other required/supporting documents (i.e. invitational travel order or extended travel agreement and foreign visitor request). After the record is created, a DOD ID and FIN will be generated and provided to the Foreign Affiliate. The Foreign Affiliate will take the DOD ID back to the Sponsoring Command to initiate a TASS request.

NOTE: For those Foreign Affiliate members that have previously had an ID Card or been in RAPIDS, they do not require the creation of a RAPIDS record.

NAVSEA CAC PROCEDURES

The CAC Office services DoD civilians and contractors, as well as all military members. Military family members/dependents must have a sponsor. The NAVSEA CAC/ID Card/RAPIDS office highly encourages appointments.  Scheduled appointments have precedence over Walk-Ins.

The NAVSEA CAC/ID CARD/RAPIDS site is by appointment only. Walk-in customers will be serviced after scheduled appointments are completed. CAC/ID Office hours in building 197 are weekdays 0715-1600. Closed all federal holidays. Customers must present two valid forms of identification (unexpired) when requesting an appointment. Any of the following are acceptable forms of ID: One must be a local, state, or federal government-issued ID card that bears a photo (e.g., current/expired building pass, passport, driver´s license) and an ID that bear the applicant´s Social Security number (i.e., Social Security card or voter registration card). You must present your expiring CAC to renew your CAC.

Due to the high demand for this service, we encourage customers to be proactive when monitoring the expiration date of their CAC/ID Cards, and that of their dependents. To aid in minimizing wait times, appointments can be made up to a year out so long as the date is within 60 days of the expiration date of the CAC and 90 days for ID Cards. Please visit https://idco.dmdc.osd.mil/idco/ to set up an appointment.

Sponsors must accompany their Family members to their scheduled appointments. Should sponsors not be available, this facility will accept one of the following: General Power of Attorney; Special Power or Attorney (stipulating authorization to act on behalf on the sponsor in regards to benefits/entitlements/ID Cards); DD Form 1172-2 that is generated by a DEERS/ID Cards Facility; or a DD Form 1172-2 generated by the DMDC ID Card Office online https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/self_service/rapids/unauthenticated?execution=e1s1 for sponsors who have a CAC and can digitally sign the document. DA Form 1172-2s are good for 30 days after the date of signature.

All individuals requesting a replacement for a lost or stolen CAC are required to present documentation from their local security office or Supervisor with organization letterhead, confirming that the CAC has been reported lost or stolen and all methods of locating the card have been exhausted. The individual will still be required to provide two valid forms of ID to acquire a new CAC. A valid list of IDs can be obtained from the DOD ID Reference Center link below.
