Visitors
Visitors are allowed on post, but must be sponsored by a DoD ID cardholder. DoD ID cardholders may sponsor visitors in person at the Chaffee Gate Visitor Control Center, which is open Monday-Friday 5 a.m.-9 p.m., or the Buffalo Soldier Visitor Control Center, which is open 24/7. DoD ID cardholders can also sponsor visitors by submitting a Fort Bliss Installation Access Pass Application to usarmy.bliss.imcom-central.mbx.fort-bliss-installation-access@mail.mil from a .mil email address. The application must be submitted no later than 72 hours prior to visitor arrival and no earlier than 14 days prior to visitor arrival. As long as the form is submitted 72 hours in advance, the DoD ID cardholder will not have to be present at the VCC with the visitor. Pass extensions are not authorized. If a visitor fails to obtain the pass by the requested end date, a new application will need to be submitted. DoD contractors are not authorized to sponsor personnel.
Contractors
Contractors not authorized to receive a DoD CAC must obtain a Fort Bliss AIE access pass or Fort Bliss AIE access badge. Contractors having a need to obtain access longer than 24 hours will have a contracting officer who will provide the contractual agreement with a cover memorandum signed by a verifying officer vouching for the need to possess a Fort Bliss AIE access badge. The expiration date of the badge will be the end date of the contract or visit, not to exceed 1 year from the date of issue.
Taxi drivers and ride-sharing drivers
All taxi drivers and ride-sharing drivers (such as Uber, Lyft, and so forth), food delivery drivers must present a driver's license and show proof of insurance, and all vehicles must be properly registered. Visitors, including taxi, ride-sharing vehicle drivers, and food delivery drivers must undergo identity proofing and vetting against NCIC-III to obtain a pass. Although drivers for ride-sharing services, taxis, or food delivery would then have a valid credential after proper vetting, their purpose would still need to be established for each visit, which can be accomplished by showing the ride sharing hail on a smartphone, identifying the person and building for the pickup, or the delivery invoice.
Veteran Health Identification Card (VHIC)
After a favorable vetting, the VHIC will be registered for continuous vetting through Fort Bliss Access Control Points. The VHIC will then serve as a valid form of ID to access to the installation and remain valid for a year. VHIC's may be renewed in the AIE system annually at the Visitor Control Center.
VHIC card holders do not have Trusted Traveler status and cannot use a SELF-SCAN lane.
All vehicles and occupants entering Fort Bliss are subject to random searches/inspections, and a National Crime Information Center Interstate Identification Index (NCIC-III) background check. Those with derogatory information related to the Army Fitness Adjudication Standards will be denied access to the installation.
