The Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS)
Update to DBIDS used by the U.S. Military
On May 7, 2025, U.S. travelers must be REAL ID compliant to board domestic flights and access certain federal facilities. The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) recently finalized an update to its DoD-Wide installation security policy and is in the process of no longer accepting noncompliant marked cards across all of its facilities and installations. However, DoD will continue to accept state-issued noncompliant unmarked "legacy" cards until the May 7, 2025 deadline.
The Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) is an identification authentication and force protection tool that is fully operational on military bases throughout the world. As of July 9, 2018, DBIDS was integrated to select military installations. Not all installations will integrate at the same time so it is important to check the base website prior to visiting the base.
