To make visits smoother, individuals preparing for their DPSAC enrollment appointment should review the Approved Identifications Document to know which Identification Documents (IDs) are acceptable for HSPD-12 Personal Identity Verification (PIV) badge enrollment. Individuals are required to bring two current forms of valid, unexpired, government-issued identity source documents to their enrollment appointment (one of which must contain a photo). The names on the IDs must match exactly, and the IDs must be an original document (photocopies are not accepted). DPSAC will not enroll any individual without the correct forms of ID.

As of August 2024, several states have active Mobile Driver's License (mDL) programs. However, it is important to note that at this time, a mobile ID or mDL is NOT an acceptable form of ID for identity proofing/enrollment purposes under HSPD-12. Mobile IDs/mDLs are companions to the physical driver’s license; therefore, mobile IDs/mDLs are NOT replacements of the physical ID card nor counted as an original version of ID, so it is NOT an acceptable form of ID at DPSAC appointments. Individuals must still bring physical original versions of their identity documents (i.e. driver’s license/ID) with them.​
