DBIDS cards are issued to all personnel who currently do not have an authorized credential for access and require unescorted access to our installations. EXAMPLES: Contractors, Volunteers, Trusted Agents and Rideshare.
DBIDS Pre-Registration for Special Events

Base Access Guidelines for Veterans (without DoD credentials)
Base Access for Veterans with VHIC:
Veterans with a VA issued Veteran Health ID card (VHIC), which is registered in our system, are allowed access to NAS Fallon to shop at the Navy Exchange and Commissary, and to use MWR facilities. Veterans have to register their VHIC at our Visitor Control Center (VCC), located at 4755 Pasture Road, Building 4180. Once the veteran’s registration has been updated in our system, they will be able to access the Navy Exchange complex and MWR facilities without a DoD credentialed escort. This process is typically same day but veterans can email the VCC for a status at nasf_n34passandid@us.navy.mil if there is a delay in processing.
Base Access for Veterans without a VHIC:
Veterans who are NOT eligible for a VHIC but are service connected, must provide a letter to the VCC from the VA indicating eligibility. Once the veteran’s registration has been updated in our system, they will be able to access the Navy Exchange complex and MWR facilities without a DoD credentialed escort. This process is typically same day but veterans can email the VCC for a status at nasf_n34passandid@us.navy.mil if there is a delay in processing.
Base Access for Caregivers:
All caregivers of qualified veterans must provide appropriate documentation to register for base access to shop for their veteran. Caregivers can call or email the VCC for more information on what is required at 775-426-2399 or nasf_n34passandid@us.navy.mil.
Base Access for Guests of Veterans/Caregivers:
According to DoD physical security regulations, veterans/caregivers are not able to escort guests onto the base without their guests registering for a visitor pass at the VCC. The temporary pass is only good to access the base when the guest is accompanying the veteran/caregiver. The guest must remain with the veteran/caregiver at all times while on the installation. Access is limited to the Navy Exchange Complex. Caregivers can call or email the VCC for more information on what is required at 775-426-2399 or nasf_n34passandid@us.navy.mil.
For more information about base access for veterans and caregivers, and their guests, please call or email the NASF VCC at 775-426-2399 or nasf_n34passandid@us.navy.mil.
