Will other U.S. Federal agency IDs work at the card readers?
No. The Perimeter Security System card readers do not electronically recognize other U.S. Federal Department or Agency ID badges at this time. Only NIH-issued ID badges have the capability to be electronically verified. All DHHS agencies (i.e. CDC, FDA, IHS, CMS, etc.) badges will be recognized as an acceptable form of employee identification at visitor centers. For a DHHS employee entering campus as a pedestrian, he/she will not be able to enter the campus through a pedestrian turnstile or portal as the card reader will not recognize their ID. However, the DHHS employee can enter through one of the visitor centers and they will not be screened and not required to obtain a visitor pass. For a DHHS employee in an NIH employee vehicle, they will not have to through the screening process, only their ID will be checked.
