air station ACCESS PROCEDURES FOR MCas NEW RIVER
Marine Corps Air Station New River has implemented the Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) to facilitate a secure and efficient means of accessing the installation. DBIDS ensures the protection of active duty personnel, family members and civilian employees while allowing controlled access to authorized patrons, contractors, vendors and sponsored visitors.
Beginning Sept. 1, MCAS New River and MCB Camp Lejeune will implement the REAL ID Act as the primary credential for unaffiliated personnel seeking access to the installations. This change affects contractors, vendors, suppliers, service providers and visitors—all of whom must continue to be vetted through the Curtis Gate Visitors Center prior to entry.
While a REAL ID-compliant state-issued driver’s license or identification card will serve as the preferred credential, alternate valid forms of identification may still be used. In those cases, a Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) credential or paper pass will be issued.
Examples of alternate valid forms of identification, in the absence of a REAL-ID compliant driver's license or identification card are:
- U.S. Passport
- U.S. Passport Card
- U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Mariner Card
- Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Card
- PIV-Interoperable Card
- U.S. State Department Driver's License
- Veterans’ Health Identification Card
- U. S. Permanent Resident Card
- U.S. Certificate of Naturalization of Certificate of Citizenship
- DHS Employment Authorization Document
In addition to the above forms of identification, a combination of an original or certified true copy of a birth certificate bearing a raised seal; a social security card, and driver's license or identification card (that is not REAL ID-compliant) issued by a State, territory, possession, or the District of Columbia.
* Please note if any one of the three required documents are missing, you will not be granted access. Additionally, all three documents must bear the same name, or you will need to provide acceptable name change documentation like a marriage license, a divorce decree or a court order.
Those without a REAL ID should plan ahead and ensure they bring proper documentation to avoid delays at the gate.
UPDATE TO REAL ID REQUIREMENTS
Guidance for access to Marine Corps Installations East - Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune (MCIEAST-MCB Camp Lejeune) and Marine Corps Air Station New River regarding the recent release of MARADMIN 108/23 requiring REAL-ID compliant identification for access to Marine Corps facilities.
This message applies to non-REAL ID driver’s license and State issued identification cards only and does not apply to any other approved acceptable credentials. Refer to MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 5530.25B for additional information on access procedures for CAC, dependent IDs, and other approved forms of acceptable identification for installation access.
In accordance with MARADMIN 108/23, non-REAL ID compliant driver’s licenses or identification cards are no longer authorized for use to access Marine Corps Installations WITHOUT ADDITIONAL PROOF OF IDENTITY. Effective immediately, all visitors with non-REAL ID driver’s license and State issued identification cards requesting access to MCIEAST-MCB Camp Lejeune or MCAS New River must provide an approved identity source document or combination thereof to access the installation(s).
An example of identity source documentation includes a U.S. passport, or the combination of an original or certified true copy of a birth certificate bearing a raised seal, social security card, and non-REAL ID compliant driver’s license or State issued identification card – all three documents must bear the same name. If the name on the documents is different due to marriage, divorce or legal name change, supporting documents such as a Court Order, Marriage Certificate or Divorce Decree of acceptable name change must be provided. In this case, if the individual cannot provide all three of the source documents an escort is required, or access will be denied.
