FAQ - Commonly asked questions
Q: Where can I get a CAC Reader?
A: You can go to the Army Small Computer Program Web site,
TheNerds.Net, or AAFES.com Prices Range from $15-$30
Q: Do I need a CAC reader to log-in to AKO?
A: No. However, you need to log-in to AKO with your CAC to reset
your password every 150 days.
Q: What documentation do I need to get my dependents in DEERS?
A: In most cases, the dependent’s birth certificate and Social
Security card are required. Additional documents may be
required, and each situation is unique, so you may want to
contact us prior to your visit.
Q: Does the sponsor need to be with me when I come in to get a
dependent ID card?
A: Yes, unless the sponsor is deceased, deployed (must be coded
as deployed in the system), or has provided the dependent with a
signed DD 1172 obtained from an ID card facility.
Q: I was not in the National Guard or in the Army. Can I still
get my ID card at your facility?
A: In most cases, yes. There are only a few instances where
personnel and family members can not be serviced by a different
branch.
Q: What forms of identification are required to obtain my ID
card?
A: At least one form of photo ID and one other accepted
document: US Passport, Drivers License, Social Security Card,
Birth Certificate, etc.
Q: Can I keep my old ID card?
A: No. Regulations prohibit us from allowing this to occur. Old
cards will be collected at the time a new card is issued and any
expired card will also be confiscated.
Q: Can a person have more than one ID card?
A: Based on eligibility, some individuals may be required to
hold multiple types of cards, but only one card of any
particular type may be held by any individual at one time.
Example: A federal technician, who is an M-day Soldier, can have
two CACs, but only one can be a military CAC. The other must be
a Federal Employee CAC.
