BASE ACCESS
The requirement for base access for all non-affiliated, unescorted workers/guests is to complete and submit SECNAV Form 5512/1 via their sponsor. This policy is effective for all events, to include one-time events such as weddings, retirement ceremonies, PAO functions, changes of command, special events, job applicants, and for vendors/service providers not enrolled in the Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS), Transportation Workers Identification Card (TWIC) holders without a Merchant Mariner Credential (MMC), and Civilian Retiree Card Holders prior to PSD re-issuance of expired credentials.
DEFENSE BIOMETRIC IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (DBIDS)
DBIDS is the DoD’s current system for access control verification and management. 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.
SPONSORSHIP
