REAL ID Act Requirements

HQ Air Force has directed that state issued identification cards or driver's licenses from Missouri, Washington, Minnesota, or America Samoa will no longer be accepted for unescorted access to Air Force installations, including Scott AFB (many personnel who have business/work on Scott come from Missouri).

Visitors to Scott AFB who do not possess a DoD identification card must have a Passport or another federally recognized photo identification for unescorted access to the base. If visitors do not have a Passport another form of acceptable ID, then they must be escorted by a sponsor while on Scott AFB (see list below).

Passed by Congress in 2005, the REAL ID Act enacted the 9/11 Commission's recommendation that the Federal Government "set standards for the issuance of sources of identification, such as driver's licenses."

The Act established minimum security standards for state-issued driver's licenses and identification cards and prohibits Federal agencies from accepting for official purposes licenses and identification cards from states that do not meet these standards. To date, it was determined that the above states and territories have not made adequate progress in meeting these security standards and therefore, these identification cards may not be used for unescorted base access.

What does this mean? For visitors coming to Scott AFB, we are no longer authorized to approve visitor passes through the Scott AFB Visitor Control Center or through other channels for unescorted access. If they do not have one of the listed alternate forms of approved federal identifications (for example, a passport), they must be physically escorted onto Scott by a member with a DoD identification card.

Visitors driving (or as a passenger) may enter Scott AFB if they are escorted by another passenger who possesses a DoD identification card. All deliveries and transportation entities must comply with the Act.

The following is a list of acceptable federally recognized photo IDs that can be used in lieu of a driver's license from Missouri or the other states/territory as noted.
