Retired U.S. Military & Dependents (including Reserve)
BASE ACCESS: YES
Retirees of the U.S. Armed Services (living in Korea or just visiting) with a valid DoD ID card have unlimited base access to Korea installations. DBIDS will scan and read your ID card allowing access with no further documentation or actions needed on your part, because DBIDS is a global enterprise system.
VEHICLE REGISTRATION: YES
Retirees living in Korea are authorized to register one (1) vehicle on base, after initial registration downtown, and obtain a vehicle decal. Retirees require an approved Exception to Policy (ETP) to register a second (2nd) vehicle. An ETP for a retiree is approved at the Area DES Directors level, not an 0-6. The ETP request is 'prepared' by the retiree and submitted to Pass&ID, who in turn sends the ETP request through channels until approved and signed by the DES Director. Pass&ID 'should' contact you when the ETP is complete.
VEHICLE REGISTRATION BY DEPENDENT: NO
Dependents are not allowed to register vehicles, only their sponsors.
ESCORT AUTHORITY: YES
Retirees living or just visiting in Korea are authorized to Escort (sign-in) four (4) persons onto base for one-day passes, and one (1) vehicle. Most bases allow the retiree to escort their extended family members for up to four (4) consecutive days. If it's your first time in Korea stop by a PASS&ID office and make sure your DBIDS record authorization is properly updated to allow for escorts. Sometimes the DBIDS office must update your record to show the correct escort numbers.
SHOPPING PRIVILAGES: YES Go To Shopping and Ration Control
