Visitor and Installation Access Control (IACO)

• Army in Europe Regulation 190-16, Section IV
• DOD ID cardholders who are 18 years old or older and military spouses under the age of 18 have sign-in privileges. If this privilege has been suspended, it is documented in the IACS and will be checked by a guard in the IACS when the DOD ID cardholder tries to use his or her sign-in privileges.
• Except for individuals in the NATO Member and Department of State and American Embassy Personnel categories, installation-pass holders are not granted sign-in privileges unless authorized by the sponsoring organization. Sign-in privileges are documented on the front of all installation passes with any qualifications (for example, contractors and vendors only) listed in the remarks block on the back. The installation-pass holder must be at least 18 years old.

• Temporary installation-pass holders are not authorized sign-in privileges.
• DOD ID cardholders not registered in the IACS are not authorized sign-in privileges. Exceptions are for active duty DOD ID cardholders who are either on TDY or leave. (For example, a DOD ID cardholder who is on leave from a deployment and visiting USAG Garmisch may sign in Family members and guests with an approved leave form.)
• Sign-in privileges are limited to signing in four individuals and their vehicles at any one time.
• Individuals who require recurring access will not use sign-in procedures to avoid the installation-pass application process or access-roster requirements.

The sponsor will monitor the activity of individual they sign-in and be responsible for their conduct. Failure to follow sign-in policy and procedures may result in the withdrawal of sign-in privileges.

DoD ID cardholders age 18 or over who are registered in IACS and have sign in privileges may sign in up to four visitors at a time at the installation gates. Visitors must be able to provide a state-issued ID card (European Union members) or passport and are required to be escorted at all times while on the installation. Minors ages 10 and under do not require a paper pass, but must be accompanied at all times.

In accordance with AE Regulation 190-16, family members visiting DoD ID cardholders stationed in U.S. Army Europe may only be issued an installation pass for unescorted access under the following conditions:

• The visitor is an immediate family member. Immediate family members consist of the requester's sons, daughters, parents, brothers, sisters, mother-in-law, father-in-law, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, grandparents and grandparents-in-law.
• The DoD ID cardholder resides on an access-controlled installation.
• Non-U.S. visitors: The visitor (age 18 and older) must present a valid Führungszuegnis issued within the last year from the visitor's country of residence (must be translated into English or German).
• U.S. visitors: The visitor (age 18 and older) must present a 'NCIC III' criminal history check. This can be obtained at the visitor's local courthouse (Clerk of the Court) or Local Federal Bureau of Investigation office in their state of residence. U.S. visitors that arrive in country without a security check will be required to have a National Crime Information Center check conducted prior to being issued a pass. This form will be completed and submitted to the local Installation Access Control Office.
• U.S. visitors need to provide the 'NCIC III' documentation and a copy of their passport prior to approval.

Visitors who do not meet the above requirements may be signed-in at the gate and escorted by a DoD ID card holder.

To obtain post access and shopping privileges at garrisons within Germany, veterans must have a Veterans Health Identification Card issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs in the U.S. The VHIC must be the newest version that displays the veteran's eligibility status. Under the new authorization, eligible veterans include Purple Heart recipients, former prisoners of war, and veterans with documented service-connected disabilities or their VA documented caregivers. VHICs are not issued overseas. To learn more about the VHIC, visit https://www.va.gov/health-care/how-to-apply/.

OBTAINING INSTALLATION ACCESS

• Besides their VHIC, veterans residing in Germany will also need to fill out Army in Europe Form 190-16A.
• Forms should be returned to the garrison Installation Access Control Services.
• Once background checks are complete in three to five days, veterans will be notified by IACS and can stop by a garrison visitor center to be issued an installation pass, which allows veterans to sign on spouses.
• Veterans who are only visiting Germany may obtain a temporary installation pass with their VHIC through the same process.
