Badging Office has a New Location

Badge

The Division of Personnel Security and Access Control (DPSAC) has moved its Badge Issuance/Access Control services from room B1A26 to room 1B03 in Building 31. DPSAC now offers all badging services, Monday – Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. DPSAC will continue to offer Enrollment and Badging services in the South Lobby of the Clinical Center (Building 10) from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays.

DPSAC has posted all changes and updates on its website, www.idbadge.nih.gov, under both the Quick Links and Getting a Badge sections found on the site’s main page.

The new Badge Issuance office includes approximately 675 sq. feet of floor space that was literally created by covering the long-defunct Building 31 escalator that ran from the B2 level of the B wing to the first floor,

The goal of the move is to simplify the badging experience for DPSAC customers by making all badging services – Identity Proofing, Enrollment, Badge Issuance, and Customer Services — available in a single, contiguous area. Applicants who have completed the Enrollment process will now be able to walk just a few feet to pick up their badge.
