Q & A Real ID Program

Q: When did the implementation start?

A: The implementation of the REAL ID Act at Air

Force Installations began on 15 Sept 16.

Q: Does this affect those with a military, retiree, dependent or CAC ID?

A: No. There is no change for base access to individuals who already possess military or DoD issued credentials; non-DoD personnel without base access credentials will be the largest demographic affected by

REAL ID Act requirements.

Q: What identification is required of minors?

A: There is no change to current procedures. When entering an installation with an individual in possession of a REAL ID Act compliant ID card, minors (under age 18) are not required to have an ID.

Q: If I have a military ID and want to take my mom on base, does she need to get a background check?

A: If you are a military ID cardholder and she is under your escort, she only needs to show a picture ID. If she needs unescorted access, i.e., entering the installation on her own, or operating a vehicle, she will need a REAL ID

Act compliant credential to be issued an access pass. A background check will be done prior to issuing the pass.

Q: I have guests attending a personal event for someone on base, do they each need a background check for this or just an access pass?

A: If you are escorting them in your vehicle, a photo

ID will suffice without a background check. If you have guests that need to travel unescorted onto an Air Force

Installation, guests 18 and over will need a background check and an access pass. The passes will be valid for the duration of the visit. Background checks and passes are issued at the Visitor Control Center (VCC). In order to conduct the background check, a REAL ID Act compliant credential will be required to establish individual identity.

Q: Do I have to change my card to a Real ID?

A: No. You do not have to change your license or ID to a

Real ID but, if you do not change your license or ID, you

MUST have another federally approved identification, such as a valid US Passport or military ID, to board a domestic, commercial flight, enter a secure federal building or visit a military installation on and after:

October 1, 2021.

Q. How do I change to a Real ID?

A: In order to change your current South Carolina license or ID to a Real ID, the SCDMV must have on file ALL of the following: 1) Proof of Identity

(Government-issued birth certificate or valid US

Passport); 2) Proof of Social Security Number; 3)

Two proofs of current, physical SC address; 4) Proof of ALL Legal name changes.

Q: I am a DoD contractor with a Common Access

Card. Can I bring my wife onto the installation without her needing a background check or pass?

A: No. Your wife will require a background check and access pass. Contractors are not authorized to escort uncleared visitors on the installation.

Q: Why are background checks being implemented on visitors?

A: Homeland Security Presidential Directive #12

Directs the Department of Defense to use the

National Crime Information Center (NCIC to vet personnel entering any military installation who do not possess a U.S. Government Common Access

Card or Uniformed Services ID Card

Q: What is NCIC?

A: NCIC is the National Crime Information Center

– Interstate ID Index. It is the DoD minimum baseline background check required for entrance onto military installations for non-DoD ID card holder and visitors. Visitors under the age of 18 will not have an

NCIC check conducted.

Q: Is DHS trying to build a national database with all of our information?

A: No. REAL ID is a national set of standards, not a

National identification card. REAL ID does not create a federal database of driver license info.

Each jurisdiction continues to issue its own u n i q u e license, maintains its own records & controls who gets access to those records and under what circumstances. The purpose of REAL ID is to make our identity documents more secure.

Q: Why are some states still not compliant?

A: It is Federal law. REAL ID is Federal law requiring Federal agencies to restrict the circumstances under which they may accept state-issued driver’s licenses and identification cards for official purposes. Participation by states is voluntary, although Federal agencies are prohibited from accepting driver’s licenses or identification cards from noncompliant states for official purposes.

Q. What does a REAL ID-compliant driver's license or ID card look like?

A REAL ID-compliant card will have one of the below markings on the upper top portion of the card.

NOTE: Drivers Licenses that say:

“NOT FOR FEDERAL IDENTIFICATION”,

“NOT FOR FEDERAL PURPOSES” OR

“NOT FOR FEDERAL USE”,

are NOT authorized base access and must present another form of ID.

**See above example for acceptable forms of ID **
