*Pre-Enrollment Website: May be used by patrons requesting access to base to establish a guest profile. You can go to the website at https://dbids-global-enroll.dmdc.mil/.

NOTE: This profile does not grant the guest any base access privileges, but it does reduce the time needed to process a pass request when the guest and sponsor come to the VCC.

Upon the first visit to the installation, all Veterans and Caregivers must stop at the visitor control center during hours of operation. Veterans and Caregivers may enroll for recurring access, which would allow them to proceed to the gate for entry upon subsequent visits without having to stop again at the visitor control center.

As with all other individuals seeking access to DoD installations, all eligible Veterans and Caregivers must pass a basic on-the-spot background check prior to enrolling, and an automated check each time they enter the installation. Veterans and Caregivers with felony convictions, felony arrest warrants, or other types of derogatory information related to criminal history or terrorism will not be permitted entry. 

Note:  Depending on the type DoD installation base disqualifiers may differ.
