The PIV Credential

Q: How do I get sponsored for a PIV Credential? What is a Sponsor? A: A Sponsor is an official representative from your Agency who substantiates your need (Applicant) for a PIV Credential or temporary identification badge and attests to the validity of the Applicant requiring a PIV Credential. The Sponsor initiates the creation or your identity in the USAccess system.

Each agency has an implementation schedule for their organization. Contact your agency program office to get sponsored. You might check your intranet or with your Human Resources manager to find that specific contact. Last Updated: 9/25/2009 10:24:29 PM
