JBSA Visitor Access - Tri-Fold 4.0.pdf

Frequently Asked Questions Visitor Centers How do military members register?

How will retirees / dependants register?

• Registration occurs the same way as military members above. Show your ID to the Security Forces member at the entry control point.

• DBIDS uses a reliable database that verifies a person’s ID Card information against a registered DoD data base.

• DBIDS makes it very difficult to fake an identity or use someone else’s ID Card to gain installation access.

• Security personnel receive visual and audible crosscheck (color photo, and standard personal info) to verify your identity.

• System is scalable; personnel access can be limited to meet mission needs (duty hours only or a specific date/time for visitors).

• Installation visitor information can be entered into the database prior to arrival and archived for future visits.

• DBIDS produces a bar-coded, paper pass for short term visits, and JBSA Access Pass (DBIDS ID Card) for long term visits.

• Regionalized Registration.

• Once your CAC or Teslan cards are registered, you may enter any installation utilizing DBIDS.

• Permanent Registration.

• Retirees can be registered indefinitely.

• Allows sponsor information to be archived for future use.

• No need for a new card.

• DBIDS scanners read all bar coded DoD ID cards for access.

• Consolidates vendor/visitor access credentials, reducing the number of cards a guard must recognize.
