9.0 DEFENSE BIOMETRIC IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (DBIDS)

Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS). The Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) is a DoD-owned and operated system developed by Defense Manpower Data Center as a force protection program to manage personnel identity and access at DoD installations. DBIDS is a network database system designed to easily verify access authorization of personnel entering military installations by using barcodes and fingerprint biometric identifications.

To improve management and force protection at Navy installations, the Navy is transitioning from using the Navy Commercial Access Control System (NCACS) to the Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) for Contractors and vendors requiring access to an installation at no cost to them. The transition will begin 17 April 2017 and individuals will have up to 180 days to obtain the permanent card. After August 14, 2017, NCACs cards will no longer be accepted.

In order to obtain base access, an individual needs to acquire DoD sponsorship, have a thorough identity check, be properly vetted, and have a legitimate reason for base access. Identity checks require a passport or a Real ID Act-compliant state driver's license. Vetting occurs when the individual's background and ID are compared against authoritative criminal justice data bases, and the individual has a letter or official document from the sponsoring organization which articulates the reason for access. When the above criteria are satisfactorily met, DBIDs credentials are issued.

NCACS cardholders will have 120 days from April 17, 2017 to obtain a temporary DBIDS paper pass. After the applicant obtains their DBIDS paper pass, they will have an additional 180 days to obtain an actual DBIDS card at no cost. Those requesting new access onto installations will
