If the vendor/contractor employee passes the background screening process, the DBIDS credential that is issued to the vendor/contractor employee is valid for the term of the card. Periodic background screenings are conducted to verify continued DBIDS participation and installation access privileges.

Contractors or vendors who need assistance in transitioning from NCACS to a DBIDS temporary pass to a DBIDS card can contact the installation Pass & ID office or Visitor Control Center.

1. If you currently have a Navy Commercial Access Control System (NCACS) card (used with RAPIDGate), the following is required to get a DBIDS credential:

a) Present your NCACS Card and a completed copy of the SECNAV FORM 5512/1 to the base Visitor Control Center representative.

b) The VCC will pull up your information in the computer, ensuring all information is current and correct.

c) Once your information is validated, a temporary DBIDS credential is provided.

d) Your temporary credential will have an expiration date, prior to which you will need to obtain your permanent DBIDS credential (~ 90 days).

e) For each additional U.S. Navy installation to which you need access, the first time you visit you only need to bring your DBIDS credential and statement of purpose for base access when arriving at the Visitor Control Center.

f) The representative will enter base access authorization.

2. If you do NOT have an NCACS Card, the following is required to obtain a DBIDS credential:

a) Present a letter or official document from my government sponsoring organization that provides the purpose for your access.

b) Present valid identification, such as a passport or Real ID Act-compliant state driver's license.

c) Present a completed copy of the SECNAV 5512/1 form to obtain your background check.
