Getting A Badge

Replacing your Badge*

Lost/Stolen ID Badges:

Report lost/stolen ID Badges to Access Control (301-451-4766) and to your Administrative Officer (AO). Your AO will need to enter the necessary information into the NIH Enterprise Directory (NED) to authorize a replacement ID badge. Those who have not yet undergone the PIV process will need to schedule an appointment with Personnel Security to be fingerprinted and have their background investigation initiated.

Broken Badges:

Badge holders working at the Bethesda campus or at nearby locations should bring their broken badge to the DPSAC Badge Issuance Center in Bldg. 31, Rm. B1A26 or at the Badging Station in Bldg. 10-Clinical Research Center for a replacement. If a broken badge has not expired and the badge can be authenticated, Access Control will issue you a new badge. The expiration date on the new badge will be the same as the date on your broken badge. As of January 16, 2009, Administrative Officers are no longer required to initiate the replacement of a broken badge in the NIH Enterprise Directory (NED).
