Army Installations across the region are transitioning to a new government-owned access control system called Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS). This new and enhanced system replaces RAPIDGate and MCESS for contractors and other non-DoD-affiliated personnel requiring installation access. DBIDS is already installed at more than 320 sites with over 5 million registered personnel and unlike previous systems, this one is a free service.

Here’s what you need to know:

CURRENT DOD ID CARD HOLDERS

- If you currently hold a valid Common Access Card (CAC), dependent ID card, reserve ID card, or retiree ID card, issued by the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS), no further action is required.

- You will be automatically enrolled in DBIDS when your ID card is initially scanned at the gate. Expect a one-time delay of 3-6 seconds as the DBIDS system initially registers your information.

NEW CONTRACTORS

- DBIDS credentials will be issued beginning June 25, 2018

- New contractors requiring access for over 60 days will receive a credential valid for up to one year.

- New contractors requiring access for less than 60 days will receive a temporary paper pass.

REMINDER: Beginning June 5, 2018, all personnel in possession of a RAPIDGate/MCESS credential will also be required to provide a second valid U.S. government form of identification. Beginning June 25, 2018, DBIDS credentials will be issued or exchanged in place of a RAPIDGate/MCESS credential. The last day RAPIDGate/MCESS credentials will be authorized for entry onto the installation is September 30, 2018.

More information on DBIDS can be accessed by current CAC holders at https://dbids.dmdc.mil/#!/resources.

If you have questions regarding the exchange of a current RAPIDGate/MCESS credential for DBIDS or are a new contractor seeking enrollment into DBIDS, please contact the Contractor Vetting Office at 910-451-0283/0284/0285.
