This document is a procedural guide for visitors and contractors to complete DBIDS (Defense Biometric Identification System) Pre-Enrollment at https://dbids-global-enroll.dmdc.mil.

The enrollment process consists of five sequential steps. Step 1 requires visitors to access the Welcome Page, review the Consent to Monitor section, and provide personal information including Social Security Number as the primary identifier. Step 2 involves completing demographic information fields including gender, ethnicity, hair color, eye color, height, weight, and occupation. Step 3 requires entry of address and contact information with the option to add multiple addresses, along with a primary email address for communication and phone number with extension. Step 4 designates sponsor information, with the enrollee serving as the sponsor, requiring name, email address (in .mil format), phone number, extension, and selection of a sponsoring site location from a provided list including various military bases and installations across the United States. Step 5 captures the date of visit, visit purpose, and requires authorization for the Department of Defense and other federal agencies (FBI, DSS, DHS) to obtain necessary background information. Upon successful submission, the system generates a confirmation page displaying a QR code and alpha-numeric code that must be printed and brought to the gate to obtain a guest pass. The example visit date provided is November 12, 2025. The confirmation page is mandatory for base access and cannot be waived.
