REF E IS OUSD (I&S) POLICY FOR PHYSICAL ACCESS TO DOD FACILITIES WITH AN EXPIRED CAC/USID CARD.// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN provides an update to temporary guidance for Navy personnel who require Common Access Card (CAC) and Uniformed Services Identification (USID) Card services during the COVID-19 emergency in accordance with references (a) through (e). This NAVADMIN supplements reference (c) but does not cancel it. 2. To maximize force health protection and ensure continuity of operations, all Navy Real-time Automated Personnel Identification System (RAPIDS) sites will continue to provide initial issuance or re-issuance of a CAC that will be expiring within 30 days with an appointment scheduled online. CACs will not be reissued due to printed information changes (e.g. promotion, name change, or for any appearance changes due to relaxed grooming standards). Department of Defense (DoD) civilian employees will retain their CACs when transferring from one Service to another. CAC PIN resets will continue to be provided as a walk-in service. 3. Installation, Facility and Building Access. Service Members are authorized physical access to DoD installations effective 16 April 2020 with an expired CAC or USID card through 30 September 2020 (or later if the applicable policy is extended). The expiration date of the CAC must be 16 April 2020 or later and for the USID card (issued to dependents, retirees, etc.) must be 1 January 2020 or later. The credential must be successfully verified using an electronic physical access control system (ePACS) that assures continued DoD affiliation against an authoritative DoD source. An expired CAC or USID that fails to verify shall not be accepted, but will not be confiscated unless believed to be counterfeit. Effective 16 April 2020, DoD components may accept expired CACs for access to facilities and buildings on and off DoD installations. The printed expiration date must be 16 April 2020 or later and the continued DoD affiliation of the cardholder must be verified. Expired credentials of any other type shall not be accepted for facility or building access. 4. Extension of Credential Certificates. Service Members may use ID Card Office Online (IDCO) https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/self_service (note: there is an underscore between self and service) to rekey CAC certificates through 30 September 2020 or the affiliation end date, if amended to be sooner or later. a. Eligibility. (1) The CAC must be unexpired when attempting to update the certificate online. (2) The CAC must be within 30 days of expiration (for example, a CAC that expires on 30 May 2020 can be updated starting on 1 May 2020). (3) The cardholder must have an active affiliation with DoD beyond the CAC end date. (a) Service Members can log into IDCO at https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/self_service to verify their affiliation extends beyond their CAC end date. (b) Affiliation for populations sponsored via Trusted Agent Security Sponsor (TASS) (i.e. contractors) must be updated in TASS prior to action being taken to rekey the certificates. b. Minimum computer requirements are: ActivClient 7.1 or higher, Java 8 update 144 or higher and Internet Explorer version 7 or higher. c. Process for extending certificates online: (1) Step by step instructions for rekeying certificates are posted at https://www.cac.mil/Coronavirus in the News & Updates Section. The update is titled User Guide Updating CAC/VoLAC Certificates. Three links are provided. (2) If IDCO provides an error message when trying to rekey your certificates, you should contact one of the following offices: (a) NMCI: https://infosec.navy.mil/PKI/, (866) 843-6624 (b) Other: https://infosec.navy.mil/PKI/, email INFOSEC_ITAC(at)navy.mil, (800) 304-4636 (3) If you continue to experience issues updating your certificate online, make an appointment with the nearest RAPIDS office to get a new CAC. d. Actions that Service Members must take after extending certificates online: (1) To be able to use Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) at home, Service Members must bring the GFE to a government facility to connect and log onto the network, which will cache the new credentials. (2) To send/read encrypted emails, Service Members must upload their certificate to the Global Address List (GAL) using Microsoft Outlook on GFE (this procedure will not work with Outlook Web Access (OWA)). Step-by-step directions will be posted to https://portal.secnav.navy.mil/orgs/OPNAV/N2N6/DDCION/SiteP ages/COVID-19.aspx. e. Known limitations: (1) Be aware that if you are at home when you update your CAC certificate using this process, your government computer will not recognize your new certificate and you will no longer be able to log in to your computer. This process is best accomplished when your GFE is physically connected to the NMCI network so new CAC certificate information can be cached to your machine. (2) Users cannot use OWA to upload CAC certificates to the GAL. (3) CAC PINs cannot be reset remotely or via trusted proxy. When a Service Member needs to have their PIN reset on their CAC, the card is inserted into the CAC reader at a RAPIDS workstation and the Service Member must provide their fingerprint and PIN to complete the process. 5. The following additional policy changes are authorized until 30 September 2020 (or later if the applicable policy is extended): a. The minimum age of USID card initial issuance is increased from 10 years to 14 years. b. If the affiliation of a cardholder with their Service has not changed (i.e. they are still entitled to benefits), USID cards which expired on or after 1 January 2020 are authorized for continued benefit use (e.g. commissary, exchange) through 30 September 2020 (or later if the applicable policy is extended). c. Continued use of the Reserve USID card to obtain active-duty benefits is authorized for mobilized Reserve Component members and their eligible dependents. d. Remote Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) enrollment for newly acquired dependents (i.e. spouse, child, stepchild, adopted child) is authorized to provide healthcare coverage. Documentation may be scanned and e-mailed to approved Navy RAPIDS sites for completion of the remote enrollment process. Examples of required documentation are marriage certificate, divorce decree, birth certificate, adoption decree, acknowledgement of paternity and social security card. Remote enrollment processing will be centralized at: Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, HI, NAVSUBASE New London, CT, NAS Whidbey Island Seaplane Base, WA, NAF El Centro, CA, NSA Annapolis, MD, NAS Fallon, NV, NAS Oceana, VA, NSA Mid-South, TN and NAVSUBASE Kings Bay, GA. Contact My Navy Career Center at 1-833-330-6622 or via e-mail at askmncc(at)navy.mil for specific documentation requirements and POC information for the above remote enrollment processing sites. e. USID card reissuance via USPS is authorized for Service Members who are unable to secure an appointment at a RAPIDS site. Service Members using this capability must contact the nearest ID card issuing facility prior to submitting documentation to ensure all required documents are provided for their specific circumstances. Location and contact information for the nearest ID card issuance facility can be obtained through https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/. USID cards issued during remote enrollment will not exceed one year to allow time for the Service Members to provide original or state certified copies of enrollment documents to the ID card issuing facility. 6. If you or a family member have a dependent or retiree ID card please be aware that your benefits (e.g. medical, dental) will remain in effect as long as your military sponsor is entitled to benefits. For example, the family of a married E-6 with an end of active obligated service date of January 2022 is authorized DOD benefits until that date, regardless of the status of their ID card(s). 7. ID card sites are open and have appointment availability. To check the operating status of a RAPIDS site and schedule an appointment, go to the RAPIDS Appointment Scheduler at https://rapids- appointments.dmdc.osd.mil. Additional site-specific information will be provided for each location as well as the status of alternate locations. Additional information can be located at www.cac.mil/coronavirus. 8.
