Cac

Starting in the first quarter of calendar year 2018, the Department of Defense (DoD) will begin issuing Common Access Cards (CAC) without a magnetic stripe. Magnetic Stripe technology is one of the lease secure card technologies currently in use and its removal will help reduce the risk of identity theft to DoD identification card populations. Impl... ementation will be phased across the DoD enterprise as the current card stock inventory is replaced. All card holders are asked to wait until their CAC expires before replacing it. DoD is transitioning to the list of identity documents found in the Federal Information Processing Standards Publication (FIPS) 201-2 for issuance of ID cards. Adults and children over 18 years of age are required to present two forms of ID prior to issuance. The IDs presented must include a primary source identity document and either a secondary source identity document or an additional primary source identity document.Read More
