A new system will be implemented on 3 January 2023 to screen visitors and contractors for installation access at DSCR.  The new system is designed to increase efficiencies, enhance the protection of personal information during the vetting process and eliminate the use of hard copy DLA Form 1815s.  

The new screening system will require visitors and contractors to pre-enroll in DBIDS (Defense Biometric Identification System).  To begin the process, visitors and contractors will complete registration through the pre-enrollment website: https://dbids-global-enroll.dmdc.mil.  

Upon entry of their information, visiting personnel will be provided an electronic form to download, which will have an individualized barcode and alpha numeric code.  The codes will be electronically sent to the visiting person’s sponsor.  Once in receipt of the barcode, the sponsor will email Security and Emergency Services and provide the barcode and sponsorship information.  Once the visitor/contractor is vetted and approved for installation access, Security & Emergency Services will notify the sponsor that the visitor/contractor can go to the DSCR Visitor Center to obtain his/her pass.  At the Visitor Center, the visitor provides the barcode and code provided earlier in the process and completes the credentialing process.
