Customer Service (Alutiiq)
Q:
What do I need to get my lost CAC card replaced?
A:
Once you have exhausted all efforts to recover your lost/stolen CAC
card, the first thing you will need to do is to go to the Security
Forces Law Enforcement Desk and fill out a police report. Bring a copy
of the police report along with two forms of I.D. (one needs to be photo
I.D.) to the MPS Customer Service Office where we will issue you a new
CAC Card.
Q: My Active Duty spouse is deployed and I have lost my dependent I.D.
card. I do not have a power of attorney so what can I do to get my I.D.
card replaced?
A:
A power of attorney is always highly recommended, but if you find
yourself without one, bring in a copy of your Spouse's deployment
orders, and we can issue you a temporary I.D card that is good for 90
days or the deployment expiration date, whichever is soonest. This only
applies to deployments, no other type of TDY. For any other TDY, the
Spouse will need to go to the nearest DEERS office, complete the I.D.
card application, and have it faxed to our office, then the dependent
I.D. card can be issued locally.
Q: I want a second CAC Card so I can leave one at work to log into my
computer, and one to carry in my wallet to get me through the front
gate. Is there anything in writing to prevent me from having more than
one CAC in my possession?
A:
Yes, AFI 36-3026 clearly states in the very first chapter that
individuals can only be issued one ID card for each specific category.
For example, it is legal to have an Active Duty CAC card and a Dependent
I.D. card if you are married to another Active Duty person. But you
cannot possess two Active Duty CAC cards, or Two Dependent I.D. cards.
Q:
Why does my CAC Card keeping getting locked?
Why can't you
unlock it over the phone?
A:
The security protocols of the ICC chip located in your CAC will lock
your chip for a variety of reasons. The most common reasons are 1)
If
you enter your PIN Number incorrectly three times in a row, 2)
If you
put your CAC into a computer that the computer security settings are set
higher than those of your CAC, 3) Certain CAC readers have a tendency to
lock CAC cards more than others, 4) If you insert your CAC into a system
that is already open by somebody else who has pulled their CAC from the
reader without logging out, your CAC will lock (this is common in areas
that share computers). Once you lock your CAC, you must come to the MPS
Customer Service Section so we can unlock your CAC using the DEERS
computers. We need to have you and your card present at the same time so
we can do a fingerprint comparison to make sure you are the owner of the
CAC before we unlock it for you.
