Number of Dependents per Appointment
Appointments are for individuals only. Multiple persons will not be seen under one appointment. Schedule separate appointments for each person.
Allocation of Service Time
Most customers are served within 15 minutes of the appointment. However, an appointment is an allocation of service time, and having an appointment does not guarantee that a customer will be served at a specific time.
RAPIDS Self Service – ID Card Office Online
DoD Common Access Card (CAC) holders may access their DEERS record to make changes, perform CAC/PIV updates (add or change email certificates), or sign the DD Form 1172-2 using RAPIDS Self-Service.
If you receive an error when signing the DD 1172-2 or performing CAC updates, add https://idco.dmdc.osd.mil as an exception site in the JAVA Control Panel security tab. Most DoD computers will allow non-administrator users to add this exception.
Identification Requirements
Persons over the age of 18, persons requesting a CAC, and military spouses must present two forms of identification for card issuance (DoDM 1000.13-M-V1, encl. 2, subpar. 4.a; FIPS 201-2, subsec 2.7). For acceptable documents, click here.
Persons under the age of 18 must provide documentation for verification of eligibility (birth certificate; parent's marriage certificate may be required if parent is not listed as sponsor's spouse in DEERS) (DoDM 1000.13-M-V1, encl. 2, subpar. 4.a.(1)).
Domestic Documents:
All documents must be certified by the custodian of the original document (DoDM 1000.13-M-V1, encl. 2, subpars. 4.a and 4.b). A notarized copy may not be considered a certified copy depending on the laws of the state that issued the original document.
If the document is not issued using security paper, or otherwise does not have a raised seal, or does not have an original, non-copied wet signature, then the document is likely not a certified copy. Further, if a photocopy was provided by a lawyer or a copy of the document was provided via email, then the document is likely not a certified copy.
Foreign Documents:
An Apostille or a Certificate of Authentication by a U.S. Consular Officer is required for foreign documents (birth or marriage certificates). Documents must have an English translation. (AFI 36-3026 I, par. 7.1.1). For Apostille information, click here or here.
Additional Documentation Requirements:
Some changes to records (promotion, retirement, Medicare enrollment) are not immediate and may take several weeks to appear in the DEERS record. Documentation may be required to update the record before ID issuance.
Replacement of Lost or Stolen CAC/PIV
Replacement of a lost or stolen CAC/PIV requires documentation from the appropriate security office or CAC sponsor confirming that the CAC has been reported lost or stolen (DoDM 1000.13-M-V1, encl. 2, subpar 5.c.(3)).
Reissuance of Functional CAC
If a help desk refers a user to this office to have a locally-test, functional CAC reissued, the user must provide a memorandum request, on letterhead, from the user's senior leadership before a CAC will be reissued.
