More documentation needed for CAC, other cards

MCCONNELL AIR FORCE BASE, Kan. --  A new Department of Defense mandate requires two forms of identification to be presented before common access cards and other types of identification cards can be issued.

Effective Sept. 25, 2008, computer software will block creation of new cards until two forms of acceptable identification are scanned into its system (the 931st Air Refueling Group's identification card section is scheduled to close on Sept. 19 to allow for related updates to its computer system).

At least one form of identification must have a photograph (see Group A in the list below). Those seeking to renew their cards may use their old cards to fulfill the picture ID (Group A) requirement. The new mandate applies to all Defense personnel, including dependents age 18 and older, and military retirees.

with photo

agencies or entities (including photo)
