F. Base access

Two-step process:

A visit request is required to visit NUWC. The preferred method is JPAS. If the company does not have JPAS, then they must fax or email a visit request with the information required in the visit request form. You may also use AMRDEC SAFE to submit your visitor request (https://safe.amrdec.army.mil/SAFE/). Incomplete visit requests will be rejected. There is a minimum of 15 business days to process.

Note: If born outside the U.S., you must provide a Naturalization number or Passport number. All visitors accessing NUWCDIVNPT are required to be U.S. or Naturalized Citizens.

Naval Station requires one of the following in order to enter the base, along with your NUWC visitor badge:

(a) CAC card

(b) DBIDS card

(c) Retired Military ID

To obtain a DBIDS card, a vetting spreadsheet is required and can be acquired from Naval Station Newport to conduct the vetting. You will need a DBIDS card if you do not have the other required IDs. The spreadsheet should be submitted to Visitor Control (group email is nuwc_npt_access.fct@navy.mil).

The other option is to use AMRDEC SAFE (https://safe.amrdec.army.mil/SAFE/). It is certified to protect Privacy Act information. You must use our individual emails (Deanna.l.monell.civ@us.navy.mil; or gina.m.santos2.civ@us.navy.mil). DBIDS requests are consolidated and submitted each day. Naval Station will not accept DBIDS vetting spreadsheets directly from the companies requiring vetting.

Naval Station requires 7-15 days to process a vetting spreadsheet. This 7 to 15 day period does not include the day of submission, nor does it include weekends and holidays. The results, except for denials, are not returned. If it has been more than five days excluding day of submission and weekends/holidays, and there has been no response, then vetting has been approved.

In addition, visitors must stop at B-80 and get their NUWC visitor pass before going to Naval Station Gate 1 to get a DBIDS card. Visitors must not try to enter NUWC with only their visitor pass and no DBIDS (or CAC) as the gate guard will confiscate their NUWC visitor pass and you will be turned around at the gate.

Please keep in mind, DBIDs is only good for 179 days. The company must resubmit their DBIDS vetting spreadsheet every 170 days in order to stay active with their DBIDS card. The 170 days is requested so that the vetting can be sent and cleared before the 179-day expiration. If DBIDS isn't sent every 170 days, when the 179-day period expires, they will be denied access to the base and will have to wait 5 business days in order for their vetting to clear again. DBIDS is separate from the visitor request.

If you have any questions on the DBIDS portion, please contact NAVSTA Pass & ID Office at (401)841-3126.

If you have questions on the visitor request portion, please contact NUWC Visitor Control at (401)832-2152.
