About this file
This document is a Registrar Guide for the USAccess Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Program, published by the Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Security and Preparedness in March 2025 (Version 2.3). The guide provides identity proofing requirements and acceptable forms of identification for PIV card applicants under the Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) framework.
USAccess PIV applicants must present two forms of identification in original form at enrollment appointments. At minimum, one document must be from the Primary identification list, which includes U.S. Passport, Permanent Resident Card, Foreign Passport, Employment Authorization Document with photograph (Form I-766), state-issued driver's licenses with REAL ID identifier (effective May 7, 2025), U.S. Military ID cards, U.S. Military dependent's ID cards, and existing PIV Cards. Secondary forms of identification include Social Security Cards, birth certificates with official seals, government-issued ID cards with photographs, voter registration cards, U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Mariner Cards, citizenship and naturalization certificates, various DHS immigration documents, Canadian driver's licenses, Native American tribal documents, Congressional identification meeting FIPS 201-2 requirements, and VA Health Benefit Cards. All documents must be valid and unexpired, with exceptions allowing some secondary forms without expiration dates. If identity source documents bear different names, official linking documents such as marriage certificates or court records must be provided. The guide explicitly lists unacceptable documents including student ID cards, gun permits, facility badges, temporary licenses, and marriage certificates used as primary identification.

1.0 Overview
1.1 Introduction
All USAccess PIV card applicants are required to provide identification at the time of Enrollment. This guidance is provided to clarify the Identity Proofing requirements for USAccess PIV cards.
1.2 Identity Document Requirements
Applicants are required to provide two forms of identification.
During the identity proofing phase of the USAccess credentialing process, applicants are required to provide two forms of identity source documents in their original form. These documents must be brought to Enrollment appointments. All identity source documents shall be bound to that applicant and shall be neither expired nor canceled.
The current list of acceptable primary and secondary source documents is listed in the Primary and Secondary identification tables below. At a minimum one of the identity source documents must be from the Primary list.

Department of Veterans Affairs USAccess Acceptable Forms of ID Registrar Guide
2.0 General Rules for Acceptance
The general rules of acceptance are outlined below.
2.1 Enrollment and Identity Proofing Overview
The following rules apply to all presented identity source documents:
• All documents must be in their original forms - no photocopies other than a certified copy of birth certificate bearing an official seal.
• Expired or canceled identity documents are not acceptable.
o All Primary forms of ID contain an expiration date; however, some Secondary forms of ID do not. Not having an expiration date does not make a Secondary ID Source unacceptable. Secondary forms of ID without an expiration date can be accepted.
• Updating or replacing identity source documents is not required after successfully completing the identity proofing process.
2.2 Examples of Acceptable Identity Source Documents
The USAccess Help Desk often receives questions regarding acceptable forms of ID.
Some of the more frequently asked about forms of identification that are ACCEPTABLE are listed below:
• PIV Card – Acceptable Primary form of ID
• Agency ID Badge – Acceptable Secondary form of ID o o Must be issued by federal, state, or local government agency or entity o Must contain a photograph.
o Note that an Agency ID badge differs from a Facility Badge, which is not acceptable, in that an Agency ID badge is an Agency-wide identity card issued by the Agency itself, rather than a badge used specifically for accessing a facility.
• TSA Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) o Acceptable Secondary form of ID DHS Trusted Traveler Cards o Acceptable Secondary form of ID. This includes:
• Global Entry cards
• SENTRI cards
• NEXUS cards
• FAST cards
2.3 Examples of Identity Source Documents Not Accepted
Identity proofing documents NOT ACCEPTED by USAccess include, but are not limited to:
• Student ID Cards (including public/state universities, as well as private universities)
• Gun or Firearms permits
• License to Carry
• Hunting/Fishing permits
• Facility Badge
• Temporary driver’s licenses
• Selective service card
• Company ID Card
• Foreign Driver’s License (other than Canada)
• Library Card
• Temporary PIV Card
• Marriage Certificate (Note that Marriage license is an acceptable linking document, but not an acceptable Primary or Secondary form of identification.)
• State Medical Marijuana Card
2.4 Primary and Secondary Combination Examples
The following examples of source identification documentation are representative of acceptable combinations of Primary and/or Secondary source documents that can be used to successfully validate an applicant’s identity:
Acceptable Combination 1:
A. Virginia State Driver’s license (Primary) with REAL ID identifier
B. US Social Security Card (Secondary)
Acceptable Combination 2:
A. US Passport (Primary)
B. Maryland State Driver’s license (Primary)
Acceptable Combination 3:
A. US Military ID Card (Primary)
B. Department of State ID Card (Secondary)
The following examples of source identification documentation are representative of unacceptable combinations of Primary and/or Secondary source documents that CANNOT be used to successfully validate an applicant’s identity:
Unacceptable Combination 1:
A. US Social Security Card (Secondary)
B. Voter's registration card (Secondary)
Reason: At least one form of identification must be Primary
Unacceptable Combination 2:
A. Virginia State Driver’s license (Primary #5)
B. Virginia State ID card (Primary #5)
Reason: While on their own, these are both valid Primary forms of ID, the language in the Primary forms of ID table above states the applicant should present “Driver's license or an ID card issued by a state.” One may be accepted, but not both, as these are essentially the same form of ID.
3.0 Linking Documents
If any of the identity source documents presented for identity proofing bear different names, then evidence of a formal name change must be provided linking the names.
More information on linking documents is provided below.
3.1 Primary and Secondary Combination Examples
Identity source documents with different names can only be accepted when an official linking document is presented.
All linking documents must include the former legal names of applicants and be valid and not expired.
Example: A married woman may use both a current driver's license with her married name, and her birth certificate with her maiden name, as primary and secondary sources of identification as long as they are accompanied by an approved linking document. For this example, an approved linking document would be a marriage license (original or certified copy) with her maiden name, one that matches her birth certificate and her partner’s last name, which is reflected on her current driver’s license.
3.2 Approved Linking Documents
The following are approved linking documents:
• Marriage Certificate
• Court record linking the two names.
USAccess requires that linking document be scanned into the Document 3 window located on the USAccess Enrolment page.
4. Appendix A- Identity Document Examples
Driver’s License with Real ID (Acceptable)
On May 7, 2025, the REAL ID driver’s license or identification card is officially required for federal use, so PIV offices must process REAL ID cards over standard or non-REAL ID cards when using these documents as primary source documents. A real ID card is indicated by a star in the right-hand corner, which can come in many iterations and colors.
Driver’s License without Real ID (Not Acceptable*)
When a REAL ID indicator is not present, this indicates that the state-issued driver’s license does not meet the standards for the REAL ID Act. *This standard will apply on May 7, 2025.
Driver’s License without Real ID with Federal Limits Apply Notation (Not Acceptable*)
The notation "FEDERAL LIMITS
APPLY," “NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR
OFFICIAL FEDERAL PURPOSES” or a similar notation on the front or back of a state-issued driver’s license indicates it does not meet the standards for the issuance and production of a compliant card under the REAL ID Act.
Enhanced Driver’s License (Acceptable**)
An enhanced driver's license (EDL) is a state-issued driver's license with enhanced security features, specifically designed to be used as proof of identity and citizenship for entering the United States from Canada, Mexico, or the Caribbean through land or seaports of entry.
**Although FIPS 201-3 does not specifically refer to EDL, the REAL ID reference within FIPS 201 (page
115) does cite the Federal Register DHS "Minimum Standards for Driver's Licenses and Identification Cards Acceptable by Federal Agencies for Official Purposes." This document details the conditions in which an EDL meets the requirements of REAL ID; the reference can be found HERE: https://www.federalregister.gov/d/08-140/p-129.
U.S. Passport https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.federalregister.gov%2Fd%2F08-140%2Fp-129&data=05%7C02%7C%7C081c2a72877340aab9cb08dd654f73e2%7Ce95f1b23abaf45ee821db7ab251ab3bf%7C0%7C0%7C638778114118741104%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=R8S7myO0bfGPSKQP6PI1cme2F%2BtrVSlGjU5U%2BtXKl9Q%3D&reserved=0
U.S. Passport Card
Foreign Passport

Reentry Permit with photograph (Form I-327)
Permanent Resident Card or Alien Registration Receipt Card (Form I-551)
Employment Authorization Document (Card) with photograph (Form I-688)
Employment Authorization Document (Card) with photograph (Form I-766)
U.S. Military Card
This ID card is issued to active-duty U.S. military personnel, selected reserve, Department of Defense civilian employees and eligible contractor personnel. For I-9 verification, a U.S. military card or draft record can be used to establish identity, but it's important to note that a military ID alone may not suffice if it lacks a date of birth or other required information.
U.S. Military ID Card
This ID card is issued to active-duty service members, members of the Individual Ready Reserves, and Inactive National Guard members when a Common Access Card (CAC) is not available or when a service member is released from active duty and placed in the Inactive Ready Reserves. (Colors may vary depending on status.)
U.S. Military Dependent's ID Card
This ID Card is issued for U.S. military family members and U.S. military retirees.
Veteran’s Health Identification Card
The Veteran Health Identification Card (VHIC) is issued as a form of identification to collect Veteran benefits. While a VHIC can be used as a form of identification, it's important to note that it's not a primary document for I-9 verification, which requires specific documents to establish identity and employment authorization. This is a secondary form of identification.
Certificate of naturalization (Form N-550 or N-570
Birth Certificate Issues by State
Certification of Report of Birth of a United States Citizen
Certification of Birth Abroad Issued by the U.S. Department of State

Authorization - process of giving individuals access to specific areas or systems based on their rights for access and contingent on successful authentication.
Background Investigation – any one of various Federal investigations conducted by OPM, the FBI, or by Federal departments and agencies with delegated authority to conduct personnel security background investigations.
Biometric – a measurable physical characteristic used to recognize the identity of an individual. Examples include fingerprints and facial images. A biometric system uses biometric data for authentication purposes.
Contractor – see “Employee.”
Employee – as defined in Executive Order (EO) 12968, “Employee” means a person, other than the President and Vice President, employed by, detailed or assigned to, an agency, including members of the Armed Forces; an expert or consultant to an agency;
an industrial or commercial contractor, licensee, certificate holder, or grantee of an agency, including all subcontractors; a personal services contractor; or any other category of person who acts on behalf of an agency as determined by the agency head. See also “Employee” as defined in title 5 U.S.C §2105.
e-QIP Tracking Number – Number assigned by e-QIP to each Form SF-85 application.
For those Interior bureaus and offices using e-QIP, the tracking number must be written on the fingerprint card when it is submitted to OPM in order to bind the fingerprint card to the proper Applicant.
FBI FP Check – National Criminal History Fingerprint check of the FBI fingerprint files.
This check is an integral part of the NACI.
Identity Management System (IDMS) - one or more systems or applications that manage the identity verification, validation, and card issuance process. The IDMS software is used by USAccess Registrars to enroll Applicants.
Identity-proofing – the process of providing identity source documents (e.g., driver’s license, passport, birth certificate, etc.) to an enrollment authority, or the process of verifying an individual’s information that he or she is that individual and no other. FIPS 201- 1 requires that one of these documents be an original State or Federal Government-issued photo ID, and the other be from the approved set of identity documents listed on Form I-9.
Logical Access Control System (LACS) – protection mechanisms that limit users' access to information technology (IT) systems by restricting their form of access to those systems necessary to perform their job function.

A NACI also includes written inquiries and searches of records covering specific areas of an individual’s background during the past five years (inquiries sent to current and past employers, schools attended, references, and local law enforcement authorities).
Physical Access Control System (PACS) – protection mechanisms that limit users' access to physical facilities or areas within a facility necessary to perform their job function. These systems typically involve a combination of hardware and software (e.g., a card reader), and may involve human control (e.g., a security guard).
PIV-II Credential – a government-issued identity Credential, referred to as a smart card, which contains a contact and contact-less chip. The Credential holder’s facial image is printed on the Credential along with other identifying information and security features that can be used to authenticate the user for physical access to federally controlled facilities.

Submitting Office Identifier (SOI) – Number assigned by OPM to identify office that submitted the NACI request.
9. Appendix F – Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12
For Immediate Release Office of the Press Secretary August 27, 2004
Homeland Security Presidential Directive/HSPD-12
Subject: Policy for a Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors
(1) Wide variations in the quality and security of forms of identification used to gain access to secure Federal and other facilities where there is potential for terrorist attacks need to be eliminated. Therefore, it is the policy of the United States to enhance security, increase Government efficiency, reduce identity fraud, and protect personal privacy by establishing a mandatory, Government-wide standard for secure and reliable forms of identification issued by the Federal Government to its employees and contractors (including contractor employees).
(2) To implement the policy set forth in paragraph (1), the Secretary of Commerce shall promulgate in accordance with applicable law a Federal standard for secure and reliable forms of identification (the "Standard") not later than 6 months after the date of this directive in consultation with the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy.
The Secretary of Commerce shall periodically review the Standard and update the Standard as appropriate in consultation with the affected agencies.
(3) "Secure and reliable forms of identification" for purposes of this directive means identification that (a) is issued based on sound criteria for verifying an individual employee's identity; (b) is strongly resistant to identity fraud, tampering, counterfeiting, and terrorist exploitation; (c) can be rapidly authenticated electronically; and (d) is issued only by providers whose reliability has been established by an official accreditation process. The Standard will include graduated criteria, from least secure to most secure, to ensure flexibility in selecting the appropriate level of security for each application. The Standard shall not apply to identification associated with national security systems as defined by 44 U.S.C. 3542(b)(2).
(4) Not later than 4 months following promulgation of the Standard, the heads of executive departments and agencies shall have a program in place to ensure that identification issued by their departments and agencies to Federal employees and contractors meets the Standard. As promptly as possible, but in no case later than 8 months after the date of promulgation of the Standard, the heads of executive departments and agencies shall, to the maximum extent practicable, require the use of identification by Federal employees and contractors that meets the Standard in gaining physical access to Federally controlled facilities and logical access to Federally controlled information systems.
Departments and agencies shall implement this directive in a manner consistent with ongoing Government-wide activities, policies and guidance issued by OMB, which shall ensure compliance.
(5) Not later than 6 months following promulgation of the Standard, the heads of executive departments and agencies shall identify to the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and the Director of OMB those Federally controlled facilities, Federally controlled information systems, and other Federal applications that are important for security and for which use of the Standard in circumstances not covered by this directive should be considered. Not later than 7 months following the promulgation of the Standard, the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and the Director of OMB shall make recommendations to the President concerning possible use of the Standard for such additional Federal applications.
(6) This directive shall be implemented in a manner consistent with the Constitution and applicable laws, including the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) and other statutes protecting the rights of Americans.
(7) Nothing in this directive alters, or impedes the ability to carry out, the authorities of the Federal departments and agencies to perform their responsibilities under law and consistent with applicable legal authorities and presidential guidance. This directive is intended only to improve the internal management of the executive branch of the Federal Government, and it is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, entities, officers, employees or agents, or any other person.
(8) The Assistant to the President for Homeland Security shall report to me not later than 7 months after the promulgation of the Standard on progress made to implement this directive and shall thereafter report to me on such progress or any recommended changes from time to time as appropriate. GEORGE W. BUSH
