IMPORTANT UPDATE:
Effective Tuesday, 8 September 2020, the Carlisle Barracks DEERS/ID Card officebegan operating on an appointment system only. Appointments can be made at https://idco.dmdc.osd.mil/idco/.You will need to make a separate appointment for each card you need made. If you need more than one card, all of your appointment times must be different (i.e. 0730, 0750, 0810). All other types of transactions (add/remove family members, college student verification, DD Form 1172 signed) require only one appointment. You must have an appointment to be seen.
There are only two exceptions: 1. Pin resets for Common Access Cards. 2. In/Out-Processing that doesn't require anything to be done to your DEERSrecord. If you are in one of these two categories, please identify yourself to a DEERS/ID card specialist or see the Operations Supervisor in Room 134 (if available).
This is a new process for all of us so please be patient and understanding as we migrate into this new way of doing business.
Our appointment scheduler is set up for 20 minute appointments. It is important to know that not all appointments last 20 minutes. Some go quicker and some go longer. Please arrive early for your appointment with all required documents. Remember that if you lose an ID card, a police report must be presented to receive a new ID card.
If you are not present at the time of your scheduled appointment, you will need to schedule a new appointment.
As in the past, the DEERS website can have problems or crash on a moment’s notice. This is beyond our control and we have no way knowing when it’s going to happen or when it’s going to be fixed. We will do everything within our power to notify you in advance and to update all available media (voicemail, website, et cetera) as soon as possible.
SEPTEMBER2020: COVID-19 Guidance for DoD ID Cards can be found athttps://www.cac.mil/Coronavirus/.
Teslin/USID(red, tan, green or blue)cards due to expire since 01 January 2020 have automatically been given an extended expiration date of 30 June 2021 as long as the cardholder’s eligibility status remains unchanged. All previously extended CACs will expire on 30 September 2020.
If you are turning 65 years old and are picking up MEDICARE Parts A & B, please call our office to discuss the matter with an ID Card Office employee prior to coming in for your new military ID card.
The mission of the Carlisle Barracks DEERS/ID Card Office is to provide enrollment assistance for the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) and issue Common Access Cards (CACs) and other United States Uniformed Services Identification Cards to authorized Soldiers, Family Members, Retirees, 100% Disabled Veterans, and Civilian & Contractor employees within the established laws, rules, and regulations using the Real-Time Automated Identification System (RAPIDS) website.
For those customers driving a long distance, it is recommended that you call the office beforehand to ensure the DEERS/ID Card website (RAPIDS) is operating; that the post is open; and we can provide you with information on any/all documents you need to bring with you. In case of inclement weather please call 717-245-3700. More detailed information about the various types of ID Cards and the forms you are required to present so we can issue a card can be found below.
Finally, we are a small facility with limited resources; scheduling conflicts, emergencies and IT related problems do occur. If we are unable to service you, there are a number of other DEERS/ID Card offices in the area for you to go to. Utilize the RAPIDS Locator at https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/rsl/appj/site?execution=e1s1 to find the DEERS/ID Card site closest to you and to schedule an appointment, if necessary.
