Civilian personnel requesting access must have a valid reason to be on the federal installation, be sponsored by a DoD Civilian/military card holder, and be favorably vetted against the FBI's database.

Such derogatory information includes, but is not limited to, the following:

1. The NCIC-III contains criminal arrest information about the individual that causes the senior commander to determine that the individual presents a potential threat to the good order, discipline, or health and safety on the installation.

2. The installation is unable to verify the individual’s claimed identity based on the reasonable belief that the individual has submitted fraudulent information concerning his or her identity in the attempt to gain access.

3. The individual has a current arrest warrant in NCIC, regardless of the offense or violation.

4. The individual is currently barred from entry or access to a federal installation or facility.

5. The individual has been convicted of crimes encompassing sexual assault, armed robbery, rape, child molestation, production or possession of child pornography, trafficking humans, drug possession with the intent to sell or drug distribution.

DBIDS information required to issue passes/cards.

Stateside license, Personal data Ht/Wt/, Who the sponsor is, fingerprint/photo. Before issuing ID cards to new employees or contractors, the standard requires agencies to conduct a background investigation of employees and contractors "who require long-term access to federally controlled facilities and/or information systems." This investigation would include agency initiation of the National Agency Check with Written Inquiries (NACI) or a similar type of national security investigation. In the event credentials are issued without a completed NACI, the ID must be electronically distinguishable from those issued to individuals for whom the investigation has been completed. The Contractor is responsible for meeting Antiterrorism/Operations Security Requirements.
