A current employee/individual who is completing a badge renewal must travel to an NIH Enrollment & Issuance Facility to pick up their new badge once the badge renewal is processed and approved by DPSAC. This cannot be done at a remote Fieldprint location and NIH does not have remote Enrollment & Issuance centers. Individuals can find NIH Enrollment & Issuance Facility locations under our Contact page.
Unlike individuals that utilize the Fieldprint service to complete the fingerprinting portion of their prescreening for a new badge, individuals completing a badge renewal will not need to submit fingerprints at a Fieldprint location first. Instead, these individuals will need to complete either the Enrollment (if required) or Issuance for the renewal at an NIH Enrollment/Issuance facility when prompted by the system. New fingerprints are usually not required for badge renewals.
New fingerprints are typically only required for the following situations:
- Prescreening/new badge requests
- Replacing lost/stolen badges
- Badge Update for legal name changes
- Designation Change from non-FTE to FTE status
- Position Designation change requiring a new higher level background investigation
- Background Reinvestigation requirement
- Security clearance requests
- Position change that requires the individual to work with children
Please note: if a badge renewal task expires, the servicing AO will need to resubmit a new badge request in NED, and the individual would be required to complete Enrollment at an NIH Enrollment Facility before they can pick up the new badge.
